Publisher Description

When Through the Looking Glass was published in 1871, audiences were as delighted with the book as they were with Lewis Carroll's first masterpiece, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Alice, now slightly older, walks through a mirror into the Looking-Glass House and immediately becomes involved in a strange game of chess. Soon, she is exploring the rest of the house, meeting a sequence of characters now familiar to most: Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Red Queen, Humpty Dumpty, and the Walrus, just to name a few. The popular and linguistically playful poem "Jabberwocky" is also featured in Through the Looking Glass.

"Lewis Carroll is just sooooooooo imaginative! I love the whole book; it definitely is a classic. There's so many creative poems in them, and the whole plot sucks the reader into the story. I really wish that Alice's adventures would never end! "

    " I much preferred Carroll's 'Alice in Wonderland' to this story. This seemed to be trying too hard to be funny. I did like the word play, but it was similar in style to 'Alice in Wonderland' and just seemed like a younger sibling that was trying too hard. "

    " A wonderfully bizarre continuation of Alice's adventures (although it is not a follow up and no mention is given of her Wonderland journey throughout the book). Reminds us of what it is to imagine the world through childs eyes once more. "

    " I love this book! Even more so than Alice in Wonderland, the characters just jump from the prose in such a way that I'm hard pressed to put it down every time I read it; be it the 1st or 5th time! (And I'm sure many more to come) "

    " This story has no plot, and no structure. It seems almost like random thoughts going through the author's head in no organized manner. The only reason I kept reading was because it was crazy to watch Carrol's ideas unfold. "

    " This book wasn't as strange as the first, but it also felt slower, to me. Not that this book was awful. I loved the poetry in it, and it seems that there is more direction in this story. Probably not a book I'll ever read again, but one worth reading at least once. "
