Alice is accused also, and she scatters the attacking cards, only to find herself awake on the river bank where the book began.
#Alice through the looking glass review for parents trial
The book closes with a trial on the case of the stolen tarts, as the Queen accuses the Knave of Hearts. Next, Alice encounters a Mock Turtle and a Gryphon, who tell her the story of the lobster quadrille. Alice moves on to the Queen's croquet ground, where she encounters the Queen of Hearts and tries to play croquet with a flamingo and a hedgehog. Directed on to the March Hare's house, Alice takes part in the Mad Tea Party, perhaps the most famous scene in the book. Next, she stops at the house of the Duchess with a pig for a baby the pig escapes, and Alice asks the Cheshire Cat for help. She runs into the woods and meets a hookah-smoking Caterpillar, who gives her some advice on ways to grow bigger and smaller. The White Rabbit and Bill the Lizard try to get her out, and Alice only escapes by eating some small cakes. Once in the house, Alice gets into more trouble with an unlabeled bottle, quickly growing too big to move.
Alice continues to chase the White Rabbit and the White Rabbit sends her into his house for his fan and gloves. Swimming to shore, Alice and some other creatures decide that "'the best thing to get us dry would be a Caucus-race'" (26). At the bottom, she finds herself in a room with a tiny door and a bottle labeled "drink me." She grows and shrinks depending on what she eats and drinks, and as a small version of herself, finds herself swimming in a pool of tears. This column will attempt an understanding of that enjoyment, and go on to review a small selection of the many projects inspired by Alice.Īlice's Adventures in Wonderland tells the story of Alice, a young girl who follows the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole. Lewis Carroll wrote the two Alice books over 130 years ago, and his work is still read with enjoyment by children and adults alike, and still fires the imagination of creative people.
