Book Description
Once Alice embarks on her next adventure, nothing is quite what it seems. Through a mirror, she enters a fantastical world of illogical behavior dominated by chess boards and chess pieces, and where time runs backwards. The story follows the exploits of a spirited young girl who parries with the Red Queen, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and other unusual characters she encounters. The game of chess that Alice faces is a reflection of how society's rigid hierarchy works. And, in many ways, this sequel has had an even greater impact on today's pop culture than the first book, with its whimsical and thought-provoking themes.

Book Description
In 1865, English author CHARLES LUTWIDGE DODGSON (1832-1898), aka Lewis Carroll, wrote a fantastical adventure story for the young daughters of a friend. The adventures of Alice-named for one of the little girls to whom the book was dedicated-who journeys down a rabbit hole and into a whimsical underworld realm, instantly struck a chord with the British public, and then with readers around the world. Dodgson's playfulness-with language, with mathematical puzzles, with testy creatures such as the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts-still confounds and teases lovers of fantasy fiction today. Alice acolytes continue to unravel the book's strange riddles, and constantly find new meaning in the unexpected underlying themes, from the trials of early adolescence to the value of nonsense. The conundrums and delights of Alice ensures its ongoing influence over modern pop culture. This unabridged replica edition features the original illustrations by English artist SIR JOHN TENNIEL (1820-1914), and is a treasured addition to any library.
