The 1872 sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland finds Carroll's inquisitive heroine in a fantastic land where everything is reversed. Alice encounters talking flowers as well as madcap kings and queens, and she becomes a pawn in a bizarre chess game involving Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and other amusing nursery-rhyme characters. This edition includes 50 illustrations by Sir John Tenniel from the original edition. AGES: 10 to 14 AUTHOR: Lewis Carroll (1832 98) was the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, are rich repositories of his sparkling gifts for wordplay, logic, and fantasy.
