Two journeys through Carroll’s looking-glass worlds

This volume brings together Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, pairing two imaginative journeys with a shared central character. Wonderland’s shifting logic and the Looking-Glass realm’s chess game provide distinct frames for episodes of playful absurdity, including a tea-party where time stands still and a baby who becomes a pig. Wordplay and reversals sit alongside moments that look back toward childhood and its passing. Together, the books make nonsense itself a way of shaping their worlds, while giving Alice’s adventures room for both comic disruption and reflection.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Suitable for readers interested in classic English literature and Lewis Carroll’s two Alice books.
  • A fit for readers who enjoy imaginative fantasy, wordplay, and playful nonsense.

Book overview

Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read

Original, experimental, and unparalleled in their charm, Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There have enchanted readers for generations. The topsy-turvy dream worlds of Wonderland and the Looking-Glass realm are full of the unexpected: A baby turns into a pig, time stands still at a "mad" tea-party, and a chaotic game of chess turns seven-year-old Alice into a queen. These unforgettable tales--filled with sparkling wordplay and unbridled imagination--balance joyous nonsense with poignant moments of longing for the lost innocence of childhood.
