Through the Looking-Glass
Free preview

“It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards.” — Lewis Carroll Step through the glass and into a world where everything is reversed, reason is riddled with nonsense, and chess pieces argue like kings and queens. In this fantastical sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll leads us deeper into the absurd, the brilliant, and the beautifully bewildering. Through the Looking-Glass is a surreal, symbolic journey where time flows backward, flowers speak in riddles, and nursery rhymes come to life in unexpected ways. It’s a mirror-world of imagination where words play games, characters defy categories, and one girl’s curiosity uncovers truths far deeper than logic. Darker, stranger, and even more philosophical than its predecessor, this is Carroll at his most creative—and most confounding.
