Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, a magnificent full-color illustrated edition of the much-loved sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, is a work of art by Chris Riddell. This edition is a perfect gift for families, children, and all fans of Lewis Carroll's iconic stories, which have been cherished and enjoyed by generations of children around the world since their first publication by Macmillan more than 150 years ago.

In the second installment of Alice's adventures, she ventures through the looking-glass to a realm even more peculiar than the Wonderland of her previous journey. Ensnared in the grand looking-glass chess game, she embarks on a quest to become a queen on the final square. However, her path is not as straightforward as she anticipates, as she encounters an array of peculiar, humorous, and nonsensical characters, including Tweedledum, Tweedledee, and Humpty Dumpty. Some of these characters insist on reciting poems to her, such as "The Walrus and the Carpenter" and "Jabberwocky," which have become as famous as the Alice stories themselves.

This edition presents Lewis Carroll's complete text, accompanied by illustrations by Costa Award- and Kate Greenaway Medal-winner, and cartoonist for the Observer, Chris Riddell. Published 200 years after the birth of Alice's first illustrator, Sir John Tenniel, also an eminent political cartoonist of his time, Chris Riddell's illustrations set a new standard of excellence, with his unique, rich, and evocative interpretation of Carroll's world.

Hundreds of images, with Riddell's rich sense of the fantastical, complement the narrative in this remarkable new edition of Carroll's book, hailed as "a triumph" by the Sunday Times.
