Whereas the first book has the deck of playing cards as a theme, Through the Looking-Glass is based on a game of chess, played on a giant chessboard with fields for squares. Most of the main characters are represented by a chess piece, with Alice being a pawn. The looking-glass world is divided into sections by brooks or streams, with the crossing of each brook usually signifying a change in the scene, and corresponding to Alice advancing by one square.
CHAPTER 1 Looking-Glass house . One thing was certain, that the WHITE kitten had had nothing to do with it: - it was the black kitten's fault entirely. Well then, the books are something like our books, only the words go the wrong way; I know that, because I've held up one of our books to the glass, and then they hold up one in the other room. Oh, Kitty! how nice it would be if we could only get through into Lookingglass House! I'm sure it's got, oh! such beautiful things in it! Let's pretend there's a way of getting through into it, somehow, Kitty.
Through the. Looking-Glass. Introduced by. Chris riddell. Illustrations by JOHN TENNIEL. Published by the Penguin Group. Like Tenniel, Lewis Carroll’s superb illustrator, I am a political cartoonist and I have often borrowed the great man’s creations, ‘with apologies to Tenniel’, in my cartoons. I’ve drawn government ministers as Tweedledum and Tweedledee, several prime ministers as Humpty Dumpty falling off high walls and, once, an iron lady on the White Knight’s horse.

Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. Book 2 is proof that Lewis Carroll can make lightning strike twice. In book 2, Alice finds herself through her mirror, and interacts with the kingly chess pieces
Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. 144991599X (ISBN13: 9781449915995). In book 2, Alice finds herself through her mirror, and interacts with the kingly chess pieces. She goes out into the garden, not easily due to navigational problems. No wonder everything she achieves in that place is seen as a victory. Basically Alice in Wonderland is the superior book, but not by much.
LEWIS CARROLL’S NEW STORY THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS, AND WHAT ALICE FOUND THERE, By Lewis Carroll, author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. With fifty illustrations, by John Tenniel, London: Macmillan and Co. 1872. Lewis Carroll has been telling another modern fairy tale to those three fortunate young ladies who have him for their fabulist, and now the result lies before us in a charming Christmas book, where those thousands of children of a larger or smaller growth who have laughed over the adventures of Alice, that most delightful of little girls, may follow their heroine through

About John Tenniel’s illustrations. Looking Glass made up almost wholly of bits and scraps, single ideas that came of themselves. Carroll considered having several pages of the book actually printed in reverse, so the reader would have to hold them up to a looking-glass to read, but in the end this proved to be too expensive and troublesome, and only the first stanza of ‘Jabberwocky’ was reversed. Originally, the story contained a chapter called ‘A wasp in a Wig‘, but Carroll decided to drop it before publication.

Illustrated by Sir John Tenniel. Collected here are Lewis Carroll's two classics - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass - in which Alice encounters the laconic Cheshire Cat, the anxious White Rabbit and the terrifying Red Queen, as well as a host of other outlandish and charming characters. I revelled in all the logical games, and the wordplay.
