Book summaryThe sequel to ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND chronicles Alice's dizzying trip through Wonderland as a chess piece in a mad-cap game that involves the now-famous Jabberwocky poem. After she passes through a mirror, Alice is mistaken for a flower, then finds herself racing to do the Red Queen's bidding in a confusing series of chess moves. Along the way, all manner of rhymes and poems must be understood, and characters such as Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty, and the Lion and the Unicorn are encountered. The kittens belonging to the real Alice put on a brief appearance as well. Lewis Carroll's story, a wonderful blend of the fantastic and the hilariously real, is one of the great classics of children's literature. |
