On a snowy day in winter, the little girl Alice is scolding her cat Dinah's black kitten for misbehaving. However, adaptations to other media of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland often feature elements taken from Through the Looking-Glass as well. There have been much fewer adaptations to other media based exclusively or chiefly on Through the Looking-Glass than on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Others (Haigha and Hatta) are variants of characters from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Some of them (Tweedledum, Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty, the Lion and the Unicorn) are taken from traditional nursery rhymes. As she moves across the chessboard, Alice meets several unusual characters.
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. Alice expresses a wish to take part in the game. She finds out that the whole of Looking-Glass Land is an enormous chessboard on which a worldwide game of chess is being played. It is a sequel to Carroll's 1865 work Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.Īlice, 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. More recent editions of the book have been published under the titles Through the Looking-Glass and Alice Through the Looking-Glass. It was written by the British author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym of Lewis Carroll. Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There is an 1871 children's fantasy novel of twelve chapters. Front cover of a 1955 British edition of Alice Through the looking-Glass.
