The author of the phenomenally successful Alice and The Red Queen returns with the third part in the Chronicles of Alice. Searing and beautifully macabre, Looking Glass consists of four dark novellas, filled with disturbing dreams, fears, magic and murder, set in a universe where nothing is immutable – except disquiet.
Signed bookplate edition with exquisitely detailed sprayed edges.
Collection of four dark novellas set in the Alice series universe. Lovely Creature In the New City lives a girl with a secret: Elizabeth can do magic.

That secret is a butterfly that lives in a jar, a butterfly that was supposed to be gone forever, a butterfly that used to be called the Jabberwock...

Then his boss tells him he's going to battle the fearsome Grinder, a man who never leaves his opponents alive... The Mercy Seat There is a place hidden in the mountains, where all the people hate and fear magic and Magicians. It is the Village of the Pure, and though Alice and Hatcher would do anything to avoid it, it lies directly in their path...
