Alice goes on another adventure through her living room looking-glass to a place even more curious than Wonderland. Her journey through the looking-glass world has a dream-like quality and is filled with eccentric characters and curious adventures. Here too, order is turned upside-down: a queen turns into a goat, at a tea party one is not supposed to eat food and a game of chess turns a seven-year-old into a queen.
However, this nonsensical world is filled with amazing wordplay and fabulous imagination. The book remains unparalleled in literature and continues to charm its readers, young and old.
