Description
pbAlice discovers an unknown land on the other side of the mirror and finds herself part of a problem in chess meeting some unlikely characters of nursery rhyme and puzzled by the reversal of many of the laws of nature.bpThe followup to iAlice in Wonderlandi originally appeared in 1871 and has not been out of print since. Curious Alice finds her way through a mirror into an amazing alternate world that is in some ways a reverse version of our own. This surreal new dimension proves to be much more than that as Alice discovers that her passage through it requires moving correctly across a chessboard landscape while encountering a string of nursery rhyme characters brought to bewildering life. Readers will find themselves confronted by one iconic moment after another as Alice meets the Red Queen Tweedledum and Tweedledee encounters the poems iJabberwockyi and iThe Walrus and the Carpenteri all presented in seemingly infinitely quotable prose. Despite repeated attempts down the years to reinterpret iThrough the Looking Glassi as a social political or religious allegory the book stands outside such concerns as a timeless classic of the imagination. It remains one of the most universally beloved childrens books in English and cherished by adults as much or perhaps even more than it is by children.pSince our inception in 2020 Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
