Filled with cleverness, wordplay, and unforgettable moments, Through the Looking-Glass is a magical adventure that reminds us that nothing is quite as it appears—and that imagination is the most potent magic of all.
It is ideal for dreamers, adventurers, and anyone who has ever pondered what lies just beyond the ordinary.
Sneak Peek
Let’s pretend the glass has got all soft like gauze, so that we can get through. Why, it’s turning into a sort of mist now, I declare! It’ll be easy enough to get through—” She was up on the chimney-piece while she said this, though she hardly knew how she had got there. And certainly the glass was beginning to melt away, just like a bright silvery mist.
In another moment Alice was through the glass, and had jumped lightly down into the Looking-glass room. The very first thing she did was to look whether there was a fire in the fireplace, and she was quite pleased to find that there was a real one, blazing away as brightly as the one she had left behind. “So I shall be as warm here as I was in the old room,” thought Alice: “warmer, in fact, because there’ll be no one here to scold me away from the fire.
Synopsis
Alice, while playing with her kittens Snowdrop and Kitty, begins to wonder what the world beyond her mirror would be like. To her delight, she discovers that she can step through it into a mirrored version of her home, where she meets lively chess pieces and finds a poem “Jabberwocky” written backward. She then wanders into a blooming spring garden teeming with talking flowers and crosses paths with the Red Queen, who promises to crown her as a queen if she can navigate the chessboard terrain to reach the eighth rank.
Her chess journey begins as she takes on the role of a pawn, hopping onto a train that travels through magical landscapes. On her way, she encounters whimsical characters such as Tweedledum and Tweedledee, strange looking-glass insects, and the forgetful White Queen. Throughout her adventure, she experiences strange happenings: a forest where names vanish, Humpty Dumpty, and an unpredictable boat ride accompanied by a shop-owning Sheep.
As Alice continues her journey, she meets various familiar nursery rhyme figures and watches the lively clash between the Lion and the Unicorn. She is then taken prisoner by the Red Knight and instantly rescued by the clumsy yet endearing White Knight. Finally, after a series of surreal encounters, she arrives at the last brook-crossing, ready to achieve her dream of becoming a queen….
