THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS

Alice's second adventure takes her through the looking-glass to a place even cur
iouser than Wonderland. She finds herself caught up in the great looking-glass c
hess game and sets off to become a queen. It isn't as easy as she expects: at ev
ery step she is hindered by nonsense characters who crop up and insist on reciti
ng poems.



Some of these poems, such as 'The Walrus and The Carpenter' and 'Ja
bberwocky', are as famous as the Alice stories themselves. Macmillan was the ori
ginal publisher of Alice in 1865 and is proud to remain true to the vision of it
s creators. Every bit as iconic are Sir John Tenniel's remarkable black line ill
ustrations, perfectly capturing the combination of the ordinary and the extraord
inary at the heart of Wonderland.
