Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (ePub)

Chris Riddell's brilliant illustrated Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There is a gorgeous edition of the much-loved sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Perfect for families, children and all fans.

First published by Macmillan more than 150 years ago, Lewis Carroll's iconic stories about Alice have been loved and enjoyed by generations of children the world over.

Curious Alice's second story takes her through the looking-glass to a place even stranger than the Wonderland of her first adventure. Caught up in the great looking-glass chess game she sets off across the chequerboard landscape to become a queen on the final square. It isn't as easy as she expects: at every step she is hindered by unusual, funny and nonsense characters like Tweedledum, Tweedledee and Humpty Dumpty. Some of them insist on reciting poems to her and these poems - such as The Walrus and The Carpenter and Jabberwocky - are now as famous as the Alice stories themselves.

This edition presents Lewis Carroll's complete text, with illustrations from Costa Award- and Kate Greenaway Medal-winner, and cartoonist for the Observer, Chris Riddell. Published 200 years after the birth of Alice's first illustrator, Sir John Tenniel, also an eminent political cartoonist of his time, Chris Riddell's illustrations set a new bar of excellence, with his unique, rich and evocative interpretation of Carroll's world.

'Hundreds of images, with Riddell's rich sense of the fantastical, complement the narrative in this remarkable new edition of Carroll's book' - Sunday Times
