  Alice's second adventure takes her through the looking-glass to place even curiouser than Wonderland. She finds herself caught up in the great looking-glass chess game and sets off to become a queen. It isn't as easy as she expects: at every step she is hindered by nonsense characters who crop up and insist on reciting poems. Some of these poems, such as The Walrus and the Carpenter and Jabberwocky , are as famous as the Alice stories themselves.

  This gorgeous hardback gift edition includes Sir John Tenniel's much-loved illustrations with the original colouring which has come to define the authentic image of Alice as blond haired -- with a blue head band. It also includes a foreword by Philip Pullman, one of today's most popular and distinguished children's writers.
