- 1. Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There is a novel by Lewis Carroll, published in 1871 as the sequel to the beloved Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The story follows the curious young girl, Alice, who steps through a looking-glass or mirror into a whimsical world where everything is reversed, much like a reflection. In this fantastical realm, she encounters a host of peculiar characters, including the White Knight, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and the Red Queen, each contributing to a narrative rich with absurdity and playful logic. The story is structured as a chess game, where Alice navigates through various squares, striving to become a queen herself. Throughout her journey, Carroll explores themes of identity, transformation, and the passage of time, interwoven with clever wordplay and language experimentation. The book is not only a continuation of Alice's adventures but also a profound reflection on the nature of reality, perception, and the power of imagination, solidifying its place as a timeless classic in children's literature.
