Lewis Carroll 
Through the Looking-Glass 

In the sequel to Alice in Wonderland, young Alice is once again transported to strange world after she steps through a mirror to see whats on the other side. There she finds that things are quite different with tiny, living chess pieces, talking flowers and time that runs backwards. Encountering some characters from her previous adventure she also meets new ones, like Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Jabberwock and the Red Queen. A wonderful entertaining exercise in literary nonsense, Through the Looking Glass is just as memorable and enjoyable as its predecessor.
