Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass

Lewis Carroll's anarchic, disturbing and boisterously funny Alice stories, conjured
up one afternoon to entertain a young girl, are a unique blend of wordplay, logic, parody, puzzles and riddles. Their dream worlds of nonsensical Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking Glass kingdom depict order turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig, time is abandoned at an unruly tea-party and a chaotic game of chess makes a seven-year-old girl a Queen.
But, amongst the eccentric humour and witty conundrums, are poignant moments of nostalgia for a lost childhood.
