Through The Looking Glass

Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (1871) is a work of literature by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson). It is the sequel to Alice''s Adventures in Wonderland (1865). The themes and settings of Through the Looking-Glass make it a kind of mirror image of Wonderland: the first book begins outdoors in the warm month of May (4 May) uses frequent changes in size as a plot device and draws on the imagery of playing cards; the second opens indoors on a snowy wintry night exactly six months later on 4 November (the day before Guy Fawkes Night) uses frequent changes in time and spatial directions as a plot device and draws on the imagery of chess. In it there are many mirror themes including opposites time running backwards and so on. (courtesy of wikipedia.com)
