Alice Through the Looking Glass
69.99 €
Everyone knows this girl: she once fell down a rabbit hole, and now she's passed through a looking glass. Her name was Alice, and she lived in Victorian England. Lewis Carroll wrote wonderful fairy tales about the adventures of this inquisitive girl—and for a century and a half, they've been adored by children and adults around the world.
This book brings the Victorian era to life—the era when traditions were immensely respected, etiquette was strictly observed, small details were enchanted, and the world was transformed. Here you can master the language of flowers and the art of the handshake, learn the rules of train travel, move by move, progress from Pawn to Queen, learn to read looking-glass books, and fold a hat like the Carpenter's. Here you'll find answers to the most unexpected questions: can a butterfly be a mate for a walrus? What should you talk about with a fish? Do oysters dance jigs? When was the chocolate bar invented? How can you tell a marquis from a baron? Where did the word-pocket come from? Why does the lion fight the unicorn? And also:
- A 3D chessboard and set of pieces;
- A mirror for reading looking-glass inscriptions;
- The secret of the name Jabberwocky;
- A labyrinth drawn by Carroll;
- A cup for mustachioed men;
- Cards with quotes for all occasions;
- A bumblebee in a wig;
- Mrs. Beeton's pie recipe;
- Remarkable Victorian inventions;
- The never-ending book about Humpty Dumpty;
- A box without biscuits.
