Alice in the Looking Glass
69.99 €
Everyone knows this girl: once she fell down the rabbit hole, and now she's gone through the mirror. Her name was Alice, and she lived in Victorian England. Lewis Carroll wrote wonderful fairy tales about the adventures of an inquisitive girl - and for a century and a half they have been enthusiastically read by children and adults all over the world.
This book brings to life the Victorian era - the one when traditions were immensely respected, etiquette was strictly adhered to, little things captivated and the world was transformed. Here you can learn the language of flowers and the art of shaking hands, learn the rules of riding the railroad, go step by step to overcome the path from Pawns to Queens, learn to read looking-glass books and fold a hat like the Carpenter. Here will find the answers to the most unexpected questions: whether the Butterfly can make a pair of Walrus, what to talk about with fish, whether oysters dance a jig, when the bar of chocolate was invented, how to distinguish the marquis from the baron, where did the words-paper, why the Lion fights with the Unicorn. Also:
- A three-dimensional chessboard and set of pieces;
- A mirror for reading looking-glass inscriptions;
- The mystery of the name Jabberwocky;
- A maze drawn by Carroll;
- The Mustache Bowl;
- Quotation cards for all occasions;
- Bumblebee in a Wig;
- Mrs. Beeton's Pie Recipe;
- Outstanding Victorian Inventions;
- The never-ending Humpty Dumpty book;
- A Box of No Cookies.
