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 (e.g. running helps you remain stationary, walking away from something brings you towards it, chessmen are alive, nursery rhyme characters exist, etc.).Through the Looking-Glass includes such verses as "Jabberwocky" and "The Walrus and the Carpenter", and the episode involving Tweedledum and Tweedledee. The mirror which inspired Carroll remains displayed in Charlton Kings, Gloucestershire.

Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871) is a sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). In this delightful and amusing story (with a chess board as the backdrop), Alice encounters the Red Queen, the White Queen, a Knight, live flowers, insects, Tweedledee, Tweedledum, Humpty Dumpty, the Unicorn, the Lion, and other memorable characters. As in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, there is frequent use of word play. There is also great poetry as well. In sum, Through the Looking Glass is just as entertaining as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
