Se Alicia no País das Maravillas, publicado por vez primeira o ano 1865, foi un conto longo para a nena amiga do autor, Alicia Liddell, A través do espello e o que Alicia atopou aló (1871) vén se-lo segundo "capitulo", menos espontaneo e con mais dominio das tecnicas narrativas e das formas de expresion, do que o reverendo Charles Dodgson (nome real de Lewis Carroll) deu en chamar "os libros de Alicia" .Ainda que o autor deixou escrito: "¡Moito temo que non quixese escribir nada mais que disparates, pura e simplemente! Pero despois de todo, sabese ben, o senso das palabras vai mais alo do que lle quixemos dar de xeito tal que un libro enteiro significa bastante mais do que pensaba o autor", o certo e que el leva, sobre todo neste segundo libro, ata as ultimas posibilidades as paradoxas linguisticas e os xogos de palabras e fai que Alicia atravese o espello (tal vez por ve-la outra cara da realidade) cunha mente igual de curiosa que no primeiro, pero moito mais madura, e as reflexions, cavilacions, conversas e bromas teñen un ton mais metafisico e menos fisico.

One thing was certain, that the white kitten had had nothing to do with it:it was the black kittens fault entirely. For the white kitten had been having its face washed by the old cat for the last quarter of an hour (and bearing it pretty well, considering); so you see that it couldnt have had any hand in the mischief.The way Dinah washed her childrens faces was this: first she held the poor thing down by its ear with one paw, and then with the other paw she rubbed its face all over, the wrong way, beginning at the nose: and just now, as I said, she was hard at work on the white kitten, which was lying quite still and trying to purrno doubt feeling that it was all meant for its good.But the black kitten had been finished with earlier in the afternoon, and so, while Alice was sitting curled up in a corner of the great arm-chair, half talking to herself and half asleep, the kitten had been having a grand game of romps with the ball of worsted Alice had been trying to wind up, and had been rolling it up and down till it had all come undone again; and there it was, spread over the hearth-rug, all knots and tangles, with the kitten running after its own tail in the middle.

Girt with a boyish garb for boyish task,Eager she wields her spade: yet loves as wellRest on the friendly knee, intent to askThe tale one loves to tell.Rude scoffer of the seething outer strife,Unmeet to read her pure and simple spright,Deem, if thou wilt, such hours a waste of life,Empty of all delight!Chat on, sweet Maid, and rescue from annoyHearts that by wiser talk are unbeguilded.Ah, happy he who owns the tenderest joy,The heart-love of a child!Away, fond thoughts, and vex my soul no more!Work claims my wakeful nights, my busy days,Albeit bright memories of the sunlit shoreYet haunt my dreaming gaze.

Nearly the whole of this volume is a serious portion of Phantasmagoria and other Poems, which was first published in 1869 and has long been out of print. "The Path of Roses" was written soon after the Crimean War, when the name of Florence Nightingale had already become a household-word. "Only a Womans Hair" was suggested by a circumstance mentioned in The Life of Dean Swift, viz., that, after his death, a small packet was found among his papers, containing a single lock of hair and inscribed with those words. "After Three Days" was written after seeing Holman Hunts picture, The Finding of Christ in the Temple.The two poems, "Far Away" and "A Song of Love", are reprinted from Sylvie and Bruno and Sylvie and Bruno Concluded, books whose high price (made necessary by the great cost of production) has, I fear, put them out of the reach of most of my readers. "A Lesson in Latin" is reprinted from The Jabberwock, a Magazine got up among the Members of "The Girls Latin School, Boston, U.S.A." The only poems, here printed for the first time, are put together under the title of "Puck Lost and Found," having been inscribed in two booksFairies, a poem by Allingham, illustrated by Miss E. Gertrude Thomson, and Merry Elves, a story-book, by whom written I do not know, illustrated by C. O. Murraywhich were presented to a little girl and boy, as a sort of memento of a visit paid by them to the author one day, on which occasion he taught them the pastimedear to the hearts of childrenof folding paper-"pistols," which can be made to imitate, fairly well, the noise of a real one.

Through the Looking Glass the sequel to Alice s Adventures in Wonderland containing the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel No greater books for children have ever been written The simple language dreamlike atmosphere and fantastical characters are as appealing to young readers today as ever they were Meanwhile however these apparently simple stories have become recognised as adult masterpieces and extraordinary experiments years ahead of their time in Modernism and Surrealism Through wordplay parody and logical and philosophical puzzles Lewis Carroll engenders a variety of sub texts teasing ominous or melancholy For all the surface playfulness there is meaning everywhere The author reveals himself in glimpses
