Through the looking-glass

Book • 1871

In this sequel to 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', Alice climbs through a mirror and enters a world where everything is reversed, much like a reflection.

Here, she finds herself in a land laid out like a giant chessboard, where she must navigate to the eighth rank to become a queen.

Along her journey, she meets a variety of bizarre characters, including the Red Queen, the White Queen, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and Humpty Dumpty.

The story is filled with Carroll's signature nonsensical logic, word play, and imaginative world-building.
