Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found

By: Lewis Carroll

Narrated by: Jon Richards

The book portrays a parallel, mirrored world where Alice enters through a mirror and find all the fascinating lives of people living a completely opposite life to what Alice’s world had. Here, backward is forward, people know about the future, and the past is a mystery and logic is a complete opposite. Alice gets to meet Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, sings along to all the rhymes (including the nonsense rhymes of the Jabberwocky), and lives as a pawn in a living game of chess. She has to become a chess queen in order to get back home, and for that, she must play!

A masterpiece of the absurd, Lewis Carroll’s sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland continues to inspire artists, filmmakers, musicians, and writers after all these years. Including Lewis Carroll's famous chess problem.
