Through the Looking Glass

Behind the Mirrors. An Alice in Wonderland - Adventure: After the great success of his book Alice in Wonderland, published in 1865, Lewis Carroll decided to write a sequel. Where Carroll used playing cards as a motif for Alice in Wonderland, he now uses chess. Most of the characters Alice meets are chess pieces, and she herself moves as a pawn across the huge chessboard. Alice must reach the eighth square to be crowned queen.
