  • Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871) is a work of children's literature by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson). It is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). The themes and settings of Through the Looking-Glass make it a kind of mirror image of Wonderland: the first book begins outdoors, in the warm month of May (May 4), uses frequent changes in size as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of playing cards; the second opens indoors on a snowy, wintry night exactly six months later, on November 4 (the day before Guy Fawkes Night), uses frequent changes in time and spatial directions as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of chess. In it, there are many mirror themes, including opposites, time running backwards, and so on.
  • Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871) is a novel by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). It is based on his meeting with another Alice, Alice Raikes. Set some six months later than the earlier book, Alice again enters a fantastical world, this time by climbing through a mirror into the world that she can see beyond it. Though not quite as popular as Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass includes such celebrated verses as "Jabberwocky" and "The Walrus and the Carpenter", and the episode involving Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
  • Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There is a 1871 fictional fantasy novel and the sequel to the 1865 title Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Both novels were written by Charles Dodgson, published under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, and both the first editions were illustrated by John Tenniel.
  • Alice, the seven-year old girl who is the novel's protagonist, dreams that she passes through the mirror in the living room of her house and finds herself in another world called Looking-Glass Land. She finds out that the whole of Looking-Glass Land is an enormous chessboard on which a worldwide game of chess is being played. Alice expresses a wish to take part in the game. She is allowed to join in as a white pawn, being told that, if she makes it to the Eighth Square at the end of the chessboard, she will become a queen. As she moves across the chessboard, Alice meets several unusual characters. Some of them (Tweedledum, Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty, the Lion and the Unicorn) are taken from traditional nursery rhymes. Others (Haigha and Hatta) are variants of characters from Alice's Adventu
