Alice Through the Looking-Glass, the sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, contains the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. No greater books for children have ever been written. The simple language, dreamlike atmosphere, and fantastical characters are as appealing to young readers today as they ever were. Meanwhile, however, these simple stories have become recognised as adult masterpieces, and extraordinary experiments, years ahead of their time, in Modernism and Surrealism. Through wordplay, parody, and logical and philosophical puzzles, Lewis Carroll engenders a variety of sub-texts, teasing, ominous, or melancholy. For all the surface playfulness, there is meaning everywhere. The author reveals himself in glimpses.
