Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (1871) is Lewis Carroll's beloved sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Curious young Alice steps through a mirror into a fantastical world where everything runs backward and the landscape resembles a giant chessboard. Becoming a pawn in the great chess game, she journeys across the board, hoping to reach the eighth square and become a Queen. Along the way, she encounters memorable figures—Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty, the fierce Red Queen, and the gentle White Knight. Filled with whimsical wordplay, nonsense verse like "Jabberwocky," and dreamlike logic, the novel remains an enduring masterpiece of children's literature.
