What is Alice through the looking-glass about?

Alice steps through the looking glass and enters a topsy-turvy world where everything is wonderfully strange. As she travels across a chessboard kingdom, she meets the bickering Tweedledum and Tweedledee, puzzled Humpty Dumpty, the White Queen and many other curious characters. With each encounter, Alice moves closer to becoming a queen, facing riddles, surprises and playful nonsense along the way. Jeanne Willis’s lively rhyming retelling introduces young readers to Lewis Carroll’s imaginative classic.
