In "Through the Looking-Glass (Illustrated Edition)," Lewis Carroll takes readers on a whimsical journey through a fantastical realm that mirrors and inverts the familiar world. Employing a playful, nonsensical literary style, Carroll constructs a narrative replete with paradox and wit, drawing on themes of identity, language, and the nature of reality. The structure of the book, framed as a chess game, introduces characters that defy logicsuch as the Red Queen and the White Knightwho challenge conventional understandings of time and space, all while inviting readers to ponder deeper philosophical questions about existence and self-awareness. Lewis Carroll, born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was a mathematician, logician, and photographer, which significantly influenced his narrative ideas and the illustrative richness of his tales. His fascination with childhood innocence, logic puzzles, and linguistic play resonates throughout his works, making "Through the Looking-Glass" an important sequel to "Alices Adventures in Wonderland." Carrolls own experiences and views on the nature of childhood and creativity inform the non-linear storytelling pattern seen in this work. This illustrated edition not only revives Carrolls enchanting prose but also enriches it with vibrant illustrations that deepen the readers immersion into the Looking-Glass world. Recommended for scholars and lovers of fantastical literature alike, this captivating exploration of imagination and thought beckons readers of all ages to engage in a profound reflection on the magic of life through the eyes of Alice.

The Wind in the Willows is a childrens novel by Kenneth Grahame, first published in 1908. Alternately slow moving and fast paced, it focuses on four anthropomorphised animals in a pastoral version of Edwardian England. The novel is notable for its mixture of mysticism, adventure, morality and camaraderie, and celebrated for its evocation of the nature of the Thames Valley. In 1908, Grahame retired from his position as secretary of the Bank of England. He moved back to Berkshire, where he had lived as a child, and spent his time by the River Thames doing much as the animal characters in his book do as the book says, "simply messing about in boats" and expanding the bedtime stories he had earlier told his son Alastair into a manuscript for the book. The novel was in its 31st printing when playwright A. A. Milne adapted part of it for the stage as Toad of Toad Hall in 1929. Almost a century later, it was adapted again for the stage as a musical by Julian Fellowes. In 2003, The Wind in the Willows was listed at number 16 in the BBCs survey The Big Read.
