Summary
Lewis Carroll's 1871 sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, in which Alice passes through a mirror into a chessboard world where the rules of logic and language are reversed. The book introduces the poems "Jabberwocky" and "The Walrus and the Carpenter," the characters Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and the Red Queen's principle that "it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place."
