Alice Through the Looking Glass: A BBC Radio full-cast dramatisation

Ken Campbell, Windsor Davies, John Bird and John Fortune star in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation.

When Alice leans too close to the Looking Glass, she suddenly finds herself in a land of caustic characters and twisted logic amp;ndash; a back-to-front world where flowers can talk, Queens can run and a crown could depend on a game of chess... In her bid to become Queen of the Chess Board, Alice must escape the fearful Jabberwock and get to the eighth square. En route, she takes advice amp;ndash; and sometimes downright criticism amp;ndash; from such peculiar folk as Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Lion and the Unicorn, and very helpful gnat.

Even when she has passed this test, the ordeal awaits of dinner with the Red and White Queens amp;ndash; and Alice learns an important lesson about not eating food you've been introduced to.

This witty adaptation of Lewis Carroll's enduring children's classic boasts the much-loved Jabberwocky poem amongst its sparkling collection of gems.
