What is Through the looking glass about?
Alice steps through a looking glass into a strange, topsy-turvy world where flowers talk, words behave oddly and nothing is quite what it seems. Soon she becomes a pawn in a giant chess game, journeying across the board towards the final square and a chance to become a queen. Along the way, she meets unforgettable characters including Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty and the Red Queen, while encountering poems such as “Jabberwocky” and “The Walrus and the Carpenter”.
