Published in 1865, it is a novel written by English author Lewis Carroll that tells the story of Alice, a young girl, who falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world of peculiar and anthropomorphic creatures. These wonderfully eccentric and well-loved characters: the Queen of Hearts, Tweedledum, and Tweedledee, the Cheshire Cat, Mock Turtle, the Mad Hatter have become timeless and immortal in children and adult's minds for nearly two centuries.Through the Looking-Glass is the sequel of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, published in 1871. In this sequel, Alice again enters a fantastical world, this time by climbing through a mirror into the world that she can see beyond it. There she finds that, just like a reflection, everything is reversed, including logic.This volume also includes a detailed biography of the author: The Life and Letters of Lewis Carroll. Published in 1898, it also includes 75 photos and sketches from the life of Lewis Carroll, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.
