Through the Looking-Glass
A classic by
“Step through the mirror into a chessboard world where logic unravels and every reflection hides an exhilarating paradox.”
Six months after her subterranean adventure, Alice climbs through the drawing-room mirror into an inverted realm ruled by the strict yet whimsical geometry of a giant game of chess. As she navigates eight ranks across brooks and forests, she encounters living chess pieces, conversing flora, and eccentric figures like Humpty Dumpty and the Tweedle twins. To cross the board and claim her crown as queen, Alice must master an enchanting landscape where memories run backward, language bends into riddles, and conventional reason turns delightfully upside down.
