Lewis Carroll, John Tenniel
Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There
Paperback
(EZReads Publications Feb. 18, 2010)
In Part 2, Alice is playing with her kittens-a black kitten and a white kitten, the offspring of Dinah, Alice's cat in the first book-when she ponders what the world is like on the other side of a mirror (the reflected scene displayed on its surface), and to her surprise, is able to pass through to experience the alternate world. There, she discovers a book with looking-glass poetry, "Jabberwocky", which she can read only by holding it up to a mirror. Upon leaving the house, she enters a garden, where the flowers speak to her and mistake her for a flower. There, Alice also meets the Red Queen, who offers a throne to Alice if she moves to the eighth rank in a chess match. Alice is placed as the White Queen's pawn, and begins the game by taking a train to the fourth rank, acting on the rule that pawns in chess can move two spaces on their first move
