  • Alice Through The Looking Glass with 175 readers in aid of Cancer Research UK

    Chapter 8 of "Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll is titled "It's My Own Invention." In this chapter, Alice finds herself in a garden with a garden of talking flowers. She has a humorous conversation with the Red Queen, who presents her with a riddle and then reveals the answer, which turns out to be a joke about a man with a green wig. The chapter continues to explore the whimsical and illogical nature of Wonderland, as well as Carroll's love for wordplay and absurdity.
