Through the looking-glass, and what Alice found there

Book • 1871
In this novel, Alice enters a mirror and finds herself in a world that mirrors her own but with many peculiar differences.

She navigates a realm where chess pieces come to life, and she must reach the eighth square to become a queen herself.

Along her journey, Alice encounters characters like the Red Queen, the White Knight, and Humpty Dumpty, engaging in playful dialogues and nonsensical situations that challenge her understanding of logic and language.

The story reflects themes of identity, growth, and the importance of curiosity and imagination.
