"Through the Magic Mirror" was published in 1976 and is Anthony's debut novel.
The characters, animals, and environments in the book are all deliberately placed by Anthony, inverting proportions and swapping forms, creating a variety of unexpected surreal effects.
Even today, after 40 years, both children and adults are still obsessed with this "crossing" and enjoy this magical fantasy imagination.
On a boring afternoon, Toby, a boy who has nothing to do at home, inadvertently crosses the mirror and comes to an incredible world.

There, oranges floated in the air, and rainbows plunged diagonally into the ground.
The invisible man walks with a briefcase, and the dog leads the man for a walk.
The painter paints the clear sky into night, the giant ship and the train run parallel in the city, a group of choir boys fall from the sky like goose feathers snow... All is strange and magnificent!
This picture book is full of surrealist master Magritte's works, and there are even several pictures that are very similar to Magritte's masterpieces.
