"A clever retelling of Carroll's classic story with all the imagery of the original."-The Wishing Shelf When Alice holds the naughty kitten up to the Looking-Glass, she sees the Looking-Glass House reflected there. Being Alice, a naturally curious child, she enters and finds herself in the midst of another adventure: a live game of chess with real Kings, Queens, and Knights, a game in which she is the Pawn. Her goal is to reach the Eighth Square where she, too, will become a Queen. But before that can happen she must cross Seven Squares and will have many fantastic adventures with talking flowers, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, flying trains, and the Lion and the Unicorn, and . . . But why waste time? Enter the magical, fantastical world created by Lewis Carroll, where up is down and down is up, and everything is reversed! This book contains eighteen original black-and-white illustrations conceived by Fiza Pathan and executed by illustrator Farzana Cooper.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday - but never jam to-day.Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There was first published in December 1871 (dated 1872). Although Carroll intended Looking-Glass to be a follow-up piece to the immediately successful Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865), he created an entirely new fantasy world with a revised narrative structure. The twelve-chapter format was retained, but Looking-Glass is significantly longer than Wonderland (224 compared to 192 pages in the first editions), and introduces a range of new characters, and is framed by Alice's progression across a chess board to become queen. This new edition focuses solely on Through the Looking-Glass, with a penetrating and informative introduction by Zoe Jaques, including the most recent research and critical opinion on the subject matter.
