Was Lewis Carroll's hand-drawn manuscript of Through the Looking-Glass destroyed, or did it just go underground for 150 years? Looking-Glass House is the faux rough-draft of Carroll's 1871 sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in Carroll's own meticulous handwriting and it features more than thirty pen-and-ink illustrations that look suspiciously like Carroll's charmingly amateurish drawings from Alice's Adventures Under Ground. See how Carroll might have imagined the chess kings and queens, the Jabberwock monster and the Tweedle twins long before Tenniel drew them! Illustrations by Jonathan David Dixon. A must-have for all fans of Alice in Wonderland from Roverzone Press.
