Through the Looking-Glass

A book for shared reading across all generations - everyone will find their own interpretation and their own enchantment. Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, is a continuation of the fairy tale about Alice's adventures in Wonderland. This time it takes us to a fantastic world that lies behind the mirror reflection of Alice's room. The girl once again finds herself in a dreamlike realm full of intriguing characters, mysterious places, and unexpected events. Lewis Carroll, a mathematics lecturer at Oxford, embedded a game of chess within this story. Alice makes successive moves on a magical chessboard, ultimately becoming a queen. The tale that flowed from this extraordinary author's pen is simultaneously serious and humorous, fantastical and realistic, absurd and logical, full of tenderness and sarcasm. It's fascinating for both children and adults, as everyone can find their own path within it.
