Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There

Pook Press is proud to present Lewis Carrolls world-famous 1871 childrens novel "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There", with original illustrations by John Tenniel. The sequel to "Alices Adventures in Wonderland" (1865), this classic childrens tale sees Alice entering to a fantastical realm after she climbs through a mirror into the world that she can see on the other side. Once there, she realises that, just like a reflection in a mirror, absolutely everything is backwards. Wonderfully illustrated by John Tenniel and introducing such famous verses as "The Walrus and the Carpenter" and "Jabberwocky", Carrolls fantastic sequel continues to inspire and entertain children almost a century and a half after it was first published. John Tenniel (1820-1914), famed for his political satire, sharp lines and delicate arrangement, was a true master of the Golden Age of Illustration. Tenniel penned a total of ninety-two black and white drawings for "Alices Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There". Both works were instant best-sellers and now rank amongst the most famous literary illustrations of all time.
