Se in Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie tutto si fa gioco surreale in mezzo a personaggi dalle più strane fogge e caratteri, in Alice attraverso lo Specchio, lo schema si fa più rigoroso, mentre s'invertono letteralmente le nostre certezze. I due racconti di Carroll sono un meraviglioso omaggio al mondo incantato dei bambini e alla loro fervida fantasia, che fugge e sfugge rapida e inafferrabile, proprio come il Bianconiglio...
