"One moment Alice is wondering what life is like on the other side on the mirror, the next she finds herself through the looking-glass and in a topsy-turvey land where everything is 'contrariwise'. Alice meets a host of bizarre characters: Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the dotty White Knight and the bad-tempered RedQueen - none of whom are quite what they seem. But is Alice's adventure real, or is it all just a dream?" (publisher).

Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the Red Queen and the White Rabbit all make their appearances, and are now familiar figures in writing, conversation and idiom. So too are Carroll's delightful verses such as The Walrus and the Carpenter and the inspired jargon of that masterly Wordsworthian parody, The Jabberwocky.
