HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.

Its a poor sort of memory that only works backward.

In Carrolls sequel to Alices Adventures in Wonderland, Alice once again finds herself in a bizarre and nonsensical place when she passes through a mirror and enters a looking-glass world where nothing is quite as it seems. From her guest appearance as a pawn in a chess match to her meeting with Humpty Dumpty, Through the Looking Glass follows Alice on her curious adventure and shows Carrolls great skill at creating an imaginary world full of the fantastical and extraordinary.
