Through the Looking-Glass, book by Lewis Carroll, dated 1872 but actually published in December 1871. Written as a sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass describes Alice’s further adventures as she moves through a mirror into another unreal world of illogical behaviour, this one dominated by chessboards and chess pieces. Like its predecessor, it contains a vast number of quotable remarks and poems that have been used by many authors since Carroll’s time.
