Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871) is a work of children's literature by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), generally categorized as literary nonsense. It is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (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 of Wonderland: the first book begins outdoors, in the warm month of May, on Alice's birthday (May 4), 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.

Though most ebooks are simple conversions of paper books, "The eNotated Through the Looking Glass" is a completely new approach that takes advantage of ebook technology by providing comprehensive eNotations (electronic annotations), essays, and background information conveniently accessible through links and a active table of contents. Written by Pam Sowers, researcher, journalist, and long-time “Alice” fan, this background biographical, historical, and interpretive information reveals a “Looking Glass” not visible to most readers.Sowers notes in her introduction, "Carroll achieved something remarkable with 'Looking Glass' It is more 'lyrical and contemplative; it contains pure poetry,' an extraordinarily rare achievement in a book intended for children. One of the unique qualities of Carroll's 'Alice' books is that they remain relevant to their readers, even as the readers mature and their world changes. 'Reading them first as a child then as a teenager, and finally as an adult, this continuing dynamism has seemed one of the strangest things about them. How could a book keep changing? Of course, I knew that really I was the one changing, as I grew up. Yet the shifting uncertainty, the sense that none of what I read had been quite what it seemed, was the element that kept drawing me back.' Clearly Carroll was writing on many different levels, and each time, we re-read them with new mental and emotional equipment."Comparing "Wonderland" and "Looking-Glass," Sowers points out "The autumnal tone of 'Looking-Glass' is very different from 'Wonderland' because by this time, Carroll's perspective on life had shifted. He could no longer consider himself young, and this admission to himself is reflected in his writing. 'The second Alice book has the same rich vein of nonsense but it is also sombre and wistful and it reflects an author who had come to terms with unhappiness.' Throughout the book, the characters are more thoughtful and a little sadder. Maturity, and mature concerns, temper Carroll's inspiration."Published in hundreds of variously illustrated editions reaching millions of readers over generations, “Looking Glass” has over time become less accessible than it was to Carroll’s Victorian contemporaries. Sowers’s eNotations supply the tacit background Alice knew but we don’t, revealing the humor, insight, and fun of this many-layered complex book.This eNotated Classics edition of “Looking Glass” contains more than 90 illustrations, most in color, from the most beloved editions of "Looking Glass as well as more than 280 eNotations, an introduction, three fascinating essays, an extensive bibliography, and a chronology showing where Carroll and “Looking Glass” fit in their times.If you read "Looking Glass" as a child, you’ll be amazed on reading the eNotated edition how much you missed and can now appreciate.
