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, \u003ci\u003eJabberwocky\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Walrus and the Carpenter\u003c\/i\u003e all presented in seemingly infinitely quotable prose.  Despite repeated attempts down the years to reinterpret \u003ci\u003eThrough the Looking Glass\u003c\/i\u003e 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 children’s books in English, and cherished by adults as much, or perhaps even more, than it is by children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of \u003ci\u003eThrough the Looking Glass\u003c\/i\u003e is both modern and readable.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSince our inception in 2020, \u003cb\u003eMint Editions\u003c\/b\u003e has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
