Readings Classics: Through the Looking Glass

Description

Alice’s second adventure takes her through the looking-glass to a place even more curious than Wonderland. She finds herself caught up in the great looking-glass chess game and sets off to become a queen. It isn’t as easy as she expects: at every step she is hindered by nonsense characters who crop up and insist on reciting poems. Some of these poems, such as The Walrus and The Carpenter and Jabberwocky , are as famous as the Alice stories themselves.

Macmillan was the original publisher of Alice in 1865 and is proud to remain true to the vision of its creators. Every bit as iconic are Sir John Tenniel s remarkable black line illustrations, perfectly capturing the combination of the ordinary and the extraordinary at the heart of Wonderland. This beautiful, celebratory, edition of Through the Looking-Glass has a gorgeous cover with a shiny silver foiled looking-glass, and is packed full of fun bonus material, including a quiz, word search and a glossary. Lewis Carroll s classic children s book is brought to life like never before!
