"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is a summer tale published by Lewis
Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) for the first time in July 1865. Many
of the characters and adventures in that book have to with a pack of
cards. "Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There" is a
winter tale, which Carroll first published in December 1871. In this
second tale, the characters and adventures are based on the game of
chess. This book contains the famous illustrations of Sir John Tenniel,
which first appeared in the original English edition. The Deseret
alphabet was developed in the mid-19th century by the board of regents
of the University of Deseret (later the University of Utah) under the
direction of Brigham Young, second president of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was intended to help make learning to
write English easier. This wasn't very successful, though the alphabet
does have interesting phonemic features, as well as being a fascinating
part of Mormon history. This edition of "Through the Looking-Glass" is
written entirely in that same alphabet, with fonts specially designed by
John H. Jenkins and Michael Everson.
