Through the Looking-Glass: and What Alice Found There

Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There is a novel published in 1871 by Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a mathematics lecturer at the University of Oxford. It was the sequel to his Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). In this second novel the theme is chess. As in the earlier book, the central figure, Alice, enters a fantastical world, this time by climbing through a large looking-glass into a world that she can see beyond it. There she finds that, just as in a reflection, things are reversed, including logic (for example, running helps one remain stationary, walking away from something brings one towards it, chessmen are alive and nursery-rhyme characters are real)
