Publisher's Synopsis
Lewis Carroll, after the resounding success of "Alice in Wonderland" (1865), six years later wrote "Alice Through the Looking Glass", which soon gained worldwide recognition. Together they have become an essential work in the history of literature. "Alice Through the Looking Glass" is conceived as a game of chess, where streams and hedges divide the squares and Alice is a pawn who aspires to be queen; a chess game where nothing makes sense and nothing is what it seems. In the mirror world reality is distorted, or perhaps it is just another way of seeing it.
