Alice Through The Looking Glass with 175 readers in aid of Cancer Research UK
Chapter 6 of "Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll is titled "Humpty Dumpty." In this chapter, Alice comes across the famous nursery rhyme character, Humpty Dumpty, who is sitting on a wall. Humpty Dumpty discusses the meaning of words and explains the various ways words can be used to mean different things. He also talks about the concept of "un-birthday" presents and shares his interpretation of the poem "Jabberwocky." The chapter is a playful exploration of language and its flexibility, showcasing Carroll's fascination with wordplay and the absurd.
