Notes

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are two classic fantasy novels by Lewis Carroll that follow the curious and imaginative Alice as she journeys through bizarre, dreamlike worlds. In Wonderland, Alice falls down a rabbit hole into a land of talking animals, illogical riddles, and eccentric characters like the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts. In Through the Looking-Glass, she steps through a mirror into a world structured like a giant chessboard, where she encounters strange creatures such as Tweedledum and Tweedledee and speaks with living chess pieces. Both stories play with logic, language, and absurdity, capturing a whimsical exploration of identity, growth, and the blurred line between reality and imagination.
