Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There is a children's novel written by Lewis Carroll in 1871.1 It is the continuation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (although it does not make references to what happens in that book). Many things that happen in the book seem, metaphorically, reflected in a mirror.While the first book plays with living cards, this time Alice is involved in a crazy game of chess. Carroll provides us with a list of the movements that occur in it, although some of them go against the rules of the game, as if it were a small child who was playing. Lewis Carroll Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Daresbury, Cheshire, UK; January 27, 1832-Guildford, Surrey, UK; January 14, 1898), better known by his pseudonym Lewis Carroll, was an Anglican deacon, logician, mathematician, photographer and British writer. His best known works are Alice in Wonderland and its continuation, Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There.
