"Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There" is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. 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 (4 May), 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 4 November (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.

Through The Looking-Glass 'You can be the White Queen's pawn' The Red Queen tells Alice 'A pawn goes two squares in its first move. So you'll go very quickly through the third square - by railway, Probably. Then in the fourth square you'll meet Tweedledum and Tweedledee. The Fifth square is mostly water, and the Sixth belongs to Humpty Dumpty. The Seventh square is all forest- one of the knights will show you the way.' And In the Eighth square Alice becomes a Queen. But what a strange game of chess it is! In the Looking glass world all the chess peaces argue with you, and you have to run very fast just to stay in the same place. Here, Time runs backwards and the White Queen can remember what happened the week after next. And whose dream is it anyway? Is it Alice's dream or is she just a part of the red king's dream? And if so, What will happen if he wakes up? ____________________________________ DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN THIS STORY IT ALL BELONGS TO THE WONDERFUL LEWIS CARROL ____________________________________
