Az Alice Csodaországban hősnője ezúttal egy tükrön át lép be egy különös, bolondos birodalomba, ahol eleven sakkfigurák, egy zsemlepke és egy hintalódarázs fogadja. És a többi különös lényről még szó sem esett... "- A szabály ez: lekvár tegnap, lekvár holnap, de lekvár ma sosincs. - Hát valamikor csak kell lennie - ellenkezett Alice. - Dehogyis! - legyintett a Királynő. - Megmondtam: minden másnap lekvár. Ma pedig ma van, nem más nap. - Nem értem - mondta Alice. - Ez rémesen bonyolult. No és most vajon melyik útjelző táblát kövessem? Erre a kérdésre nem volt nehéz a válasz, mert csak egy út volt, és mindkét jelzőtábla arrafelé mutatott. Alice nevetett. - Nincs értelme - mondta -, a lehetetlent nem hiheti el az ember! - Szerintem nincs elég gyakorlatod - mondta a Királynő. - Én a te korodban naponta fél órán át csak ezt gyakoroltam. Volt úgy, hogy már reggeli előtt hat lehetetlen dolgot elhittem. Egy dolog bizonyos: a fehér cicának semmi köze nem lehetett hozzá, az egész egyes-egyedül a fekete cica bűne volt."

'I wish I could get through into looking-glass house,' Alice said. 'Let's pretend that the glass has gone soft and . . . Why, I do believe it has! It's turning into a kind of cloud!' A moment later Alice is inside the looking-glass world. There she finds herself part of a great game of chess, travelling through forests and jumping across brooks. The chess pieces talk and argue with her, give orders and repeat poems . . . It is the strangest dream that anyone ever had . .

"Alices Abenteur im Wunderland "(translated by Antonie Zimmermann) was the first translation of Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" to appear after the book's initial publication and success in 1865. Carroll himself supervised the production and printing of the German edition. His correspondence with Macmillan (his English publisher who conducted the negotiations with Leipzig) reveals how exacting he was over such matters as format, margins, picture placement, paper, binding, price, and even certain textual details. When the translation finally appeared in 1869, Carroll was immensely pleased with it and presented a specially bound copy to Princess Beatrix, the daughter of Queen Victoria. The translation of Alice's "Adventures in Wonderland" has always presented a special problem. The humor, popular children's verses, songs, and especially the puns were thought at first to make it untranslatable. The problem was solved by Antonie Zimmermann with the hearty approval of Carroll by substituting popular German children's verses and puns for the English originals. "How Doth the Little Crocodile?" for instance, is turned into a parody of a German Romantic ballad. All in all, this is still the best of the 15 or more German translations."

E furcsa ötletekkel teli, kalandos, vidám mesekönyv szerzője, Lewis Carroll, a múlt században élt matematikaprofesszor.

Aki ismeri az angol történelmet, az a Szív Királynőben könnyen felismerheti a hirtelen haragú Viktóriát, s férjében, a pipogya Szív Királyban a jelentéktelen Albert herceget. De megtalálhatjuk e könyvben az angol igazságszolgáltatás, iskolarendszer vagy éppen sportszenvedély végletekig vitt, humoros torzképét is.
