Publisher Description
Lewis Carroll’s Alice through the Looking Glass is a marvelous piece of children’s literature, as well as marvelous entertainment for adults. The sequel to the classic Alice in Wonderland makes no reference to the earlier work, yet displays an equally vivid imagination, opening indoors on a snowy, wintry night exactly six months later. As the story progresses, with Jane Asher as Alice, the world becomes quite bizarre.
