In which a lost Royal Baby and a fête for frogs lead to a curious theatrical performance, complete with queerly cooked soup and whimsical enactments of Shakespearean heroes by a most unconventional actor.

Welcome, dear Listener - pray step quietly, for the shelves are dozing. You have found The Lewis Carroll Library: a most respectable collection of unrespectable tales, where words may walk backwards, time may forget its manners, and a sentence will occasionally tumble headlong into a pun. Here we read the books entire - every chapter, every curiosity - turning pages as one might turn a looking-glass: expecting, at any moment, to find the world on the other side behaving rather differently. So settle comfortably, keep a corner of your imagination unbuttoned, and - if you happen to see a White Rabbit hurrying past - do try to listen faster.
