Through the Looking-Glass is a fantasy novel for children by Lewis Carroll. Being a kind of a mirror image of Alice in Wonderland, it opens indoors, uses numerous changes in momentum and spatial paths, and pulls on the metaphors of chess, the story itself being based on the royal game, played on a giant chessboard with fields for squares. Most personalities in the story are symbolized by a chess piece or animal, with Alice herself being a pawn. A wonderful work filled with imaginative mindscapes!
