Behind the looking-glass
A book that keeps
its sense of wonder.
First published in 1865, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland follows a curious girl into a dreamlike world of talking animals, impossible rules, and glorious nonsense. From the Cheshire Cat to the Queen of Hearts, every encounter turns ordinary logic on its head.
