About this book
Alice steps through a mirror into a world modeled on a chess game, meeting strange characters as she journeys toward becoming a queen. Suited to young readers who enjoy fantasy and wordplay, and to adults revisiting a classic of children's literature.
Lewis Carroll
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English author, poet, mathematician, photographer, and Anglican deacon. His most notable works are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass (1871), some of the most important examples of Victorian literature. He was noted for his facility with word play, logic, and fantasy. His poems Jabberwocky (1871) and The Hunting of the Snark (1876) are classified in the genre of literary nonsense. Some of Alice's nonsensical wonderland logic reflects his published work on mathematical logic.
