Um þessa rafbók

Alice is bored at home, but not for long—suddenly, she finds she can step through her mirror into a fantastical world where everything is backwards. From insulting flowers to giant insects to the nonsensical Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Alice's confusing journey through the world of Looking-Glass House is anything but easy. Is it all really just a dream, or could it be something more than that? Featuring the infamous poem "Jabberwocky," this is the unabridged version of Lewis Carroll's sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It was first published in the UK in 1871.
