Book summary

One winter evening, Alice climbs through the drawing-room mirror and finds a house where everything is reversed. Outside, the countryside forms a huge chessboard, which Alice must cross square by square to become a queen. On the way she meets Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty sitting on his wall, and a Red Queen who keeps running just to stay in the same place.

In this sequel to “Alice's Adventures in Wonderland”, the games with words and logic are even more plentiful. It is here that the famous poem “Jabberwocky” appears.

Its simple sentences and lively dialogue make it an ideal classic to read in the language you are learning.

The plot

What if you could step into a mirror? One snowy evening, a little girl called Alice wonders what lies behind the living-room mirror.

The world of the book

A land where everything goes backwards. The land is laid out like a giant chessboard. Each time Alice crosses a brook, she moves to a new square and meets someone new.
