"Through the Looking Glass is a novel by Lewis Carroll and is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The book follows the adventures of Alice, a young girl who steps through a mirror and into a fantastical world on the other side. The book is divided into twelve chapters, each depicting a different surreal scenario in that Alice finds herself. The book's central theme is the concept of ""looking-glass logic,"" where things are the opposite of what they seem to be. For example, Alice encounters a White Queen who claims to be able to believe six impossible things before breakfast and a Red King who is asleep throughout the entire book. The novel also incorporates elements of chess, with Alice moving through the chessboard landscape and encountering characters representing the different chess pieces. The book's final chapter sees Alice become a queen herself, providing a satisfying conclusion to the chess theme. To know how Alice becomes a queen, readers should read this novel!"

"Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a British author, mathematician, and photographer, was born on January 27, 1832, in Daresbury, Cheshire, England. Lewis Carroll was his pen name. The children's books ""Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"" and its sequel, ""Through the Looking-Glass,"" are among Carroll's best-known works. His works are beloved by readers of all ages and are well-recognized for their inventive characters, absurd language, and exotic locations. Carroll was not just a gifted writer but also a gifted mathematician, logician, and photographer. He spent several years teaching mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford, where he was a fellow. Carroll was renowned for being a reclusive and mysterious guy despite his great achievements, and much of his personal life is still a mystery. It is known, however, that he was close friends with a number of young ladies, notably Alice Liddell, who served as the model for his most well-known character, Alice. Carroll's legacy as a writer and mathematician has persisted in inspiring and influencing generations of artists, researchers, and readers. He passed away on January 14, 1898, at the age of 65."
