Classic Serial: Through the Looking Glass, And What Alice Found There: Part 1

on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Lewis Carroll, dramatised in two parts by Hattie Naylor.

Alice leans too close to the looking glass and finds herself in a back-to-front world where flowers can talk, queens can run and a life-size game of chess - peopled by overgrown schoolboys, talking gnats and a white knight with no sense of balance - might lead to her being a queen.

(Repeated Saturday 9pm)
