The Story
6C Lewis Carroll with drawings by John Tenniel. Penguin Books, 1948.
Notes
Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There is Lewis Carroll’s 1871 sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. In this novel, Alice steps through a mirror into a strange world governed by the logic of a chessboard, where everything operates in reverse or according to puzzling rules. As Alice moves from square to square, hoping to become a queen, she encounters memorable characters such as Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the White Queen, and Humpty Dumpty. The story is rich in wordplay, riddles, and nonsense poetry, using playful fantasy to explore ideas about time, identity, and logic while gently satirizing the rigid conventions of Victorian society.
