Lewis Carroll (1832-1898), born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was an English author known primarily for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass and the celebrated nonsense poem, The Hunting of the Snark. A gifted student, it was natural that he become a teacher of mathematics and the author, under his real name, of several mathematical texts. Carroll displayed diverse talents in poetry, photography, mathematics, and unforgettable flights of pure fancy.

Young Alice passes through a mirror into a land of reversal, paradox and sublime imagination, in Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. Brimming with strange and delightful characters and incidents, poetry and wordplay, elegance and nonsense, this is a classic for both children and anyone who has ever been a child.
