All the world’s a game—a chess game—in Lewis Carroll’s classic tale of a Looking-Glass world where everything is backwards including "proper manners." Alice meets Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, Humpty Dumpty, and an assortment of farcical royalty in Looking-Glass Land. The absurd rules Victorian adults imposed on their children provides a parallel to Carroll’s pompous imaginative creatures in several informative articles. Many of Carroll’s word and logic games provide advanced thinking skills as well as humorous entertainment. Several complete chapters of Through the Looking-Glass are included, and synopses and excerpts of the other chapters provide transitions in between.
