Book Description
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, madcap kings and queens, and strange mythological characters when she becomes a pawn in a bizarre chess game involving Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and other amusing nursery-rhyme characters. One of juvenile literature’s great classics, with 50 original illustrations by Sir John Tenniel.

I hadn't read this in the LONGEST time. I'd forgotten how wonderful it really is.
I think I enjoyed Through the Looking Glass a bit more than Alice's Adventures because it has had less thorough media attention than Alice's Adventures has so there were more parts of it that were new to me.
Some stories one knows, but has never read. This was one such tale. Some time during college I took to reading this on my own. A wonderful tale of fantasy. That Carroll made these stories up on the spot to entertain his daughter/niece? is just amazing.
A fun read for everyone.
