The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday - but never jam to-day. Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There was first published in December 1871 (dated 1872). Although Carroll intended Looking-Glass to be a follow-up piece to the immediately successful Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865), he created an entirely new fantasy world with a revised narrative structure.
The twelve-chapter format was retained, but Looking-Glass is significantly longer than Wonderland (224 compared to 192pages in the first editions), and introduces a range of new characters, and is framed by Alice's progression across a chess board to become queen. This new edition focuses solely on Through the Looking-Glass, with a penetrating and informative introduction by Zoe Jaques, including the most recent research and critical opinion on the subject matter.
One child can do everything – read a book, ride a bike and go high on the swing, but another child can't. One child can play, but two can't (as the first child refuses to let the other join in). But when the first child finds something difficult (they're afraid of swimming), and sees two children playing together on a see-saw, they realise that it's more fun to play together and help each other.
A visually told delightful first story about sharing for very young picture book lovers, told by the established author of I Love You Night and Day & Don't Call Me Sweet and illustrated by debut artist Ben Javens.
