Alice Through the Looking Glass

By Lewis Carroll
Illustrated by Helen Oxenbury

The timeless sequel to the Kate Greenaway Medal and Kurt Maschler Award-winning "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland".

For over a century, Lewis Carroll’s classic stories of logic and lunacy have inspired delight in young and old alike. Continuing Alice's adventures, "Alice Through the Looking-Glass" sees her walking through a mirror into a topsy-turvy world. There she meets a host of bizarre characters, including Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty and the Red Queen. But is it all a dream?

  • "An Alice for the new millennium, this book is a triumph of design and rare quality," The Guardian on "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".
  • Helen Oxenbury’s Alice is a child of today -- modern, personable, spirited!
