868. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland #1-2), Lewis CarrollThrough the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871) is a novel by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). Set some six months later than the earlier book, Alice again enters a fantastical world, this time by climbing through a mirror into the world that she can see beyond it. Through the Looking-GlassPeople love this. Not me. Does that mean I'm not people? Usually I like scatterbrained, nonsensical stuff and that's probably my problem: I don't get the references. At least some of the wild and crazy antics seem to happen to prove a point about the ridiculousness of some or other quirky British convention.

For decades Id figured that since I can sing along to Jefferson Airplanes song White Rabbit that I didnt have to read the book. But I decided to do so and am glad I did, although I could not ever find where the dormouse said Feed your head. Mostly, the dormouse just slept. This book is really, really weird, even after 145 years, bowdlerization by Disney, appropriation by the hippies, and general over-familiarization. Good book, and it contains one of my favorite poems: Twinkle, twinkle little
one of my all time favorite books, so the re-read was a pleasure as always.but this barnes and noble edit made it even better with the beautiful colour pics and the book looks really pretty on my shelf.
