I have a hardcover Random House boxed set of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, and I have to admit that this one confounded me as a child.

  “Alice is playing with her kittens - a black 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.

  “Like Alice in Wonderland, this book is essentially required reading, for the many allusions you'll find to it elsewhere. The story was a bit more interesting and enjoyable than Alice, and a fast read.”
