What this book is about
Lewis Carroll's 1871 sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland follows Alice through a looking-glass into a world organized like a giant chessboard, where she must navigate from pawn to queen by traveling through a landscape full of impossible conversations and distinctive characters — Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Humpty Dumpty, the Red Queen, the White Knight. Equally rich in wordplay and philosophical absurdism as its predecessor, and the source of 'Jabberwocky.'
