Title: Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There Title Record # 2256290
Authors: Lewis Carroll and Tony Ross
Date: 1992-00-00
Type: NOVEL [juvenile]
Series: Alice
Language: English
Note:
  • Carroll's second Alice novel "abridged" (1992, 1993) or "retold" (2016) and illustrated by Tony Ross (evidently published one year before the Ross version of Carroll's first Alice novel)
  • "Pruned to something less than half the original (using only Carroll's language), with chess moves, verse, chaptering, and main events intact: an abridgement that may find some use as an introduction, though any child who enjoys it should be steered to a complete edition. It's not true--despite Ross's otherwise sensible introduction--that all the humor is here (where are the 'six impossible things before breakfast'?); but his forthrightly honest approach (even the title page reads 'Abridged & Illustrated by ...' in caps) merits some indulgence, while even purists will enjoy comparing his witty, freely rendered caricatures with Tenniel's elegantly limned art--which Ross's frequently parodies. (Fiction. 6+)" --entire review of the 1st US ed., Kirkus Reviews 1993-11-01
