Alice`s second adventure takes her through the looking-glass to a place even curiouser 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. Gloriously illustrated with the original line drawings by John Tenniel, plates coloured by John Macfarlane, a ribbon marker and a foreword by Philip Ardagh, this beautiful hardback edition of Lewis Carroll`s Through the Looking-Glass, which was first published by Macmillan in 1871, is a truly special gift to treasure.
