Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll

The Rose tells Alice that the tree in the garden protects them with its bark by saying 'bough-wough.' Alice catches sight of the Red Queen in the distance. Talking flowers, a Tiger-lily and a Rose, stop Alice. No matter how hard Alice tries, the paths take her back to the house instead of to the hill. Realizing that she needs to get on with her exploration, Alice heads outside.Īlice sees a hill in the garden and decides to climb it so she can look around. She holds the book up to a mirror and is able to read a poem titled ' Jabberwocky.' Alice thinks it sounds pretty, but she can't make out what it's about. She realizes that the text isn't in a foreign language-since this is Looking-glass World, the text is backwards.

Alice looks around and flips through a book. The White Queen yells for her baby daughter, Lily, who's up on a table, so Alice picks the queen up to help her. She sees tiny living chessmen on the hearth, but the pieces don't seem to see Alice.

Excitedly, Alice crawls through the mirror and looks around. Alice threatens to send Kitty to Looking-glass House, which is the house she can see through the mirror above the mantel. Kitty is mischievous and plays with Alice's ball of yarn, unwinding it, so Alice scolds the kitten for this and for several other crimes. One cold November day, Alice lounges in the sitting room and plays with her black kitten, Kitty, while the mother cat Dinah cleans the white kitten, Snowdrop.
