New edition of this Victorian classic, here presented in its true adult context for the first time. In his introduction, Jeremy Reed highlights the psychedelic nuances of the text, revealing how Lewis Carroll's vivid imagery exerted a strong influence on various '60s songwriters, and questions how the literature of this Victorian eccentric was casually assimilated into children's literature. A Creation edition of a remarkable book.
Helen Oxenbury takes the 19th-century classic and revitalizes it for a new audience, Alice Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. In a starred review of her Alice in Wonderland, PW wrote, "In perhaps her most ambitious work to date, Oxenbury applies her finely honed instinct for a child's perspective to create an Alice accessible to all ages." Those who enjoyed Oxenbury's first foray into Wonderland will be every bit as delighted with the artist's return visit. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

"But are you really pro-life?" asked Alice. "Because you know, I've heard pro-life people talk before, and they sound quite different."
"When I use a word," Trumpty Drumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean ' neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Trumpty Drumpty, "which is to be master ' that's all."
Alice was too puzzled to reply to this, so she thought she had better change the subject.
"That is a fine wall, Mr. Drumpty," she said after a while. "It must have cost you a great deal to build it."
"It cost me nothing," said Trumpty Drumpty off-handedly. "Every single cent of it came from my friends in Mexico."
"They must be very good friends," said Alice politely.
"Not in the least," said Trumpty Drumpty. "But they had no choice, you see. First, I sent back all the illegal immigrants; and then I said that if the Mexican government didn't pay for my wall, I'd stop those immigrants from wiring any money home."
"But if you had sent them back," said Alice, who was now feeling even more puzzled, "then how'"
"You ask too many questions, young lady," snapped Trumpty Drumpty. "This interview is now over."
"Nothing is going right today!" Alice said to herself. "Oh, how I wish I hadn't taken that job with Fox News!"
