150 years of “Through the Looking-Glass” by Lewis Carroll

Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There was published on 27 December 1871 (though indicated as 1872)[1] by Lewis Carroll and the sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865).

Alice again enters a fantastical world, this time by climbing through a mirror into the world that she can see beyond it. There she finds that, just like a reflection, everything is reversed, including logic (for example, running helps one remain stationary, walking away from something brings one towards it, chessmen are alive, nursery rhyme characters exist, and so on).
