This provocative chronicle, interspersed with fantasy sequences from Alice in Wonderland , traces the career of Charles Dodgson (better know as Lewis Carroll) from his first work on the immortal classic to his near downfall when accused of immorality. "An actors' delight. Characters metamorphose; they are transmogrified. A student, sitting on a sofa, becomes the Mad Hatter. A chaplain, trotting about Oxford, becomes the White Rabbit … metamorphosis and transmogrification are patented acting techniques, and they make up much of the charm of LOOKING-GLASS." —John Corry, The New York Times
