Through the Looking-Glass

By Lewis Carroll

Through the Looking-Glass is a classic fairy-tale by Lewis Carroll. Alice steps through the mirror into Looking-Glass House and finds herself in a world laid out like a giant chessboard, where she sets out as a White Pawn to play and win in eleven moves and become a Queen. Along the way she visits the Garden of Live Flowers and meets Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty, the Lion and the Unicorn, the White Knight and the Red and White Queens. The book opens with the dramatis personae and the chess problem behind the story, and closes with the chapters Shaking, Waking and Which Dreamed It?
