"Still she haunts me, phantomwise
Alice moving under skies"
It's been many years since I first read this book but it never ceases to enchant. Alice's journey, as a pawn through a giant chess game, is populated by fantastical creatures and outlandish characters, from the hapless White Knight to a verbose Humpty Dumpty. Poems practically spill from the pages. And besides, who hasn't wanted to know what's beyond the mirror?
