Description
An Apple Books Classics edition.
Travel back to Wonderland in Lewis’s acclaimed sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. When Alice’s game of “Let’s pretend” turns real, she finds herself stepping through a looking glass into a mirror image of her home—except here, nothing is as it seems, and her fireplace is filled with living chess pieces. Overjoyed to be back, Alice rushes outside and finds her garden alive with talking flowers. And that’s just the beginning. Readers are introduced to Tweedledee and Tweedledum and Humpty Dumpty, who is an actual egg. The poems “Jabberwocky” and “The Carpenter and the Walrus” appear for the first time in print. While scholars poured over their meaning, readers continue to soak up Lewis’s nonsensical humor and satirical style.
When Alice joins the living chess game, she must strategize if she wants to become a Queen. But in a land where time moves backwards, and dreams blend disconcertingly with reality…is that even possible? Find out in Through the Looking Glass, the sequel that has left an even more indelible mark on pop culture than its predecessor.

5By AaronDahsarI had recently been playing the video game iterations of Alice and I thought it'd be proper to see the original material. This was a really good book. Kept my attention and ended too soon. Now for the next.Pleasant light read
3By LahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhThis was a story written like a dream. It plays with logic as it follows a young girl named Alice though a world which mirrors out own.Pretty Good, but
4By Gmoney2966There were some issues with the text and was at times hard to follow because of it. Otherwise, an excellent fantasy book. Plus you can't be free
