The young girl Alice climbs through a mirror and ends up in a magical, mirror-reversed world. Even the logic is reversed, so if you run, you stand still, and if you walk away from something, you get closer. On Alice's journey through the Looking-Glass Land, she meets many fantastic figures from English nursery rhymes, such as Humpty Dumpty and Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Through the Looking-Glass [1871] is a standalone sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland [1865], and just like its predecessor, it is filled with inventive characters and magical escapades.
