Through the Looking-Glass

“For some minutes Alice stood without speaking, looking out in all directions over the country—and a most curious country it was.”Curled up in an armchair with her black kitten, Kitty, as Alice shares with it her ideas about a Looking-Glass House, she suddenly finds herself up on the chimney-piece, on the other side of the mirror.In a room that looks much like her own but where everything is exactly reversed, Alice sees chessmen walking around. And as she steps out of the Looking-Glass House into the garden of live flowers, she is taken to the hill by the Red Queen.“I declare it‘s marked out just like a large chess-board!” Alice said at last. “There ought to be some men moving about somewhere—and so there are! . . . Oh, what fun it is! How I wish I was one of them! I wouldn’t mind being a Pawn, if only I might join—though of course I should like to be a Queen, best.”As Alice embarks on an adventure, joining in as a pawn in the game and exploring this fantastical world of chessmen, Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, will she become a Queen?
