She encounters peculiar characters like the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts, each adding to the absurdity of her journey. Filled with riddles, wordplay, and surreal adventures, the story celebrates imagination and challenges logic.

Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll is the sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
