Description: One snowy winters afternoon, Alice climbs through the mirror above her drawing-room fireplace, into a back- to-front, topsy-turvy world where flowers talk, chess pieces walk and the faster you run, the more you end up in the same place. As she wanders through this strange, astonishing land, Alice encounters a host Of favourite childhood characters, each clamouring to be rediscovered and given new life by award-winning illustrator Helen Oxenhury. Wonder at Tweedledum and liveedledee, laugh at the Walrus and the Carpenter, cower from the Lion and the Unicorn, ponder the Jabberwock, and beware the proud Humpty Dumpty and snappish Red Queen.
