Through the Looking-Glass - Hardcover
The classic full-color second adventure of Alice in a large-format gift edition, with original illustrations, cover foiling, and foreword by Philip Pullman
Alice's second adventure takes her through the looking-glass to place even curiouser than Wonderland. She finds herself caught up in the great looking-glass chess game and sets off to become a queen. It isn't as easy as she expects: at every step she is hindered by nonsense characters who crop up and insist on reciting poems. Some of these poems, such as "The Walrus and the Carpenter" and "Jabberwocky," are as famous as the Alice stories themselves. This gorgeous hardback gift edition includes Sir John Tenniel's much-loved illustrations with the original coloring which has come to define the authentic image of Alice as blond haired—with a blue head band.

About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Lewis Carroll was the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898), a mathematician famous for his books for children. The Alice stories were written for Alice Liddell, the daughter of the dean of his college. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (1872) have been loved by adults and children ever since. Sir John Tenniel (1820–1914) was a Victorian topical cartoonist, caricaturist, and illustrator. Famous during his life for his contributions to the satirical magazine Punch, he is best remembered today for his work in Alice. Philip Pullman is the author of the Carnegie Medal-winning His Dark Materials trilogy. Philip Pullman is one of today's bestselling and most-loved writers for children. He is best known for the His Dark Materials trilogy.
With this work Lewis Carroll delivered a sequel to his best-known work, the classic adventures of ALICE IN WONDERLAND. Similarities abound between the two tales. However, similarities aside, this story gets star treatment with renowned fantasy and science-fiction author Harlan Ellison serving as narrator. Ellison's jaunty reading provides just the right mix of whimsy and awe for the story's rhymes and clever characters. The pleasure is infectious. Children listening to the bizarre adventures will find plenty to enjoy. M.T. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
