Through the Looking Glass Complete and Unabridged (Puffin Classics) by Lewis Carroll ISBN 13: 9780140367096

A work of children's literature, this book is the sequel to [Alice's Adventures in Wonderland][1], which was first published in 1865. "Although it makes no reference to the events in the earlier book, the themes and settings of *Through the Looking-Glass* make it a kind of mirror image: the first book begins outdoors, in the warm month of May, uses frequent changes in size as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of playing cards; the second opens indoors on a snowy, wintry night exactly six months later, on November 4 (the day before Guy Fawkes Night), uses frequent changes in time and spatial directions as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of chess. In it, there are many mirror themes, including opposites, time running backwards, and so on."
