I kind of like {puH taQDaq leng Alice}.

I thought of that, but it's not correct: conjunctions either join two
noun phrases or two verbal clauses, not a clause and a phrase.
Technically, though, the English version commits this same error, unless
the title is meant to be considered as two titles: "'Through the
Looking-glass' and 'What Alice Found There.'"
