Through the Looking-Glass (by Lewis Carroll) (UNABRIDGED AUDIOBOOK) : Blackstone Audio Apps : Folium Edition

Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll (unabridged) was produced by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see below for features list).

This 1871 sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland finds Carroll’s inquisitive heroine in a fantastic land where everything is reversed. Whereas the first book has the deck of cards as a theme, this book is loosely based on the game of chess—played here, however, on a giant chessboard with fields for squares. Alice encounters talking flowers, madcap kings and queens, and strange mythological characters when she becomes a pawn in a bizarre chess game involving Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and other amusing nursery-rhyme characters.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the same 5-star recording that is available through other retailers at higher prices. It is unabridged and professionally recorded at Blackstone Audio by Harlan Ellison, who has won numerous awards, including multiple Hugos, Nebulas and Edgars. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS CONTINUES TO ENCHANT WITH ITS BRILLIANT WORD PLAYS, SLY COMMENTARIES ON HUMAN NATURE, AND WONDERFUL INSANE LOGIC…. Harlan Ellison instantly draws in the listener with his warmth, humor, and obvious affection for the book.”
