"Through the Looking-Glass" (also known as "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There") is a novel published in 1871 by Lewis Carroll and the sequel to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (1865).
Alice's second adventure takes her through the looking-glass to a place even curiouser than Wonderland. She finds herself caught up in the great looking-glass chess game and sets off to become a queen. It isn't as easy as she expects: at every step she is hindered by nonsense characters who crop up and insist on reciting poems. Some of these poems, such as 'The Walrus and the Carpenter' and 'Jabberwocky', are as famous as the Alice stories themselves.
