Publisher Description
This 1871 classic, Through the Looking-Glass, is a novel by Lewis Carroll, and the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It is based on another of Alice's further adventures as she again enters a fantasy world. This time by climbing through a mirror into the alternative world that she can see beyond the mirror. With illogical behavior, and character like Jabberwocky, The Walrus and the Carpenter, and an episode involving Tweedledum and Tweedledee- in the spring garden flowers have human speech and The Red Queen offers to make Alice a queen, if she can make the right moves.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Classics Illustrated comics returns with this dismal adaptation of Carroll's second Alice tale. Most of the charming paradoxes and silly puns are salvaged in gs the text, arranged in columns beneath the artwork rather than in word balloons. Consequently, a lot of very small illustrations are needed to carry the dialogue between Alice and the many looking-glass characters--to the detriment of the visual appeal of the work. g Baker ( Why I Hate Saturn ) is a good caricaturist, but the drawings often appear perfunctory and the color choicesg flat, garish and awkward. At its best (the Humpty Dumpty scenes), the g sketchy linework seems more appropriate to a realistic narrative, a thriller or a political satire, and the g book lacks throughout the careful design and rendering that a children's classic requires.

Wow
It's a very cool book I think this would be a better book for maybe a little older people I am only 11 but it is a good book.
