Alice Through the Looking Glass (Collector's Edition)

By Lewis Carroll, C L Dodgson, Rebecca Thomas, et al.

Book Overview

Through the Looking-Glass the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, containing the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. No greater books for children have ever been written. The simple language, dreamlike atmosphere, and fantastical characters are as appealing to young readers today as ever they were. Meanwhile, however, these apparently simple stories have become recognised as adult masterpieces, and extraordinary experiments, years ahead of their time, in Modernism and Surrealism. Through wordplay, parody and logical and philosophical puzzles, Lewis Carroll engenders a variety of sub-texts, teasing, ominous or melancholy. For all the surface playfulness there is meaning everywhere. The author reveals himself in glimpses.

What Alice Found there

I had read another version of this book, but I had taken notes and I'm sure it was good, but I don't really remember any.
