Through the Looking Glass

Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll, published in 1871, is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. In this whimsical tale, Alice steps through a looking-glass (a mirror) into a fantastical world where everything is reversed, much like a chessboard. Alice encounters a series of curious characters and experiences strange adventures, including becoming a queen in a chess game. The novel plays with logic, language, and paradoxes, and it explores themes of identity and change. Like its predecessor, Through the Looking-Glass is known for its playful wordplay, riddles, and nonsensical logic.
