Through the Looking-Glass
Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871)
is a work of children's literature by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), and is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
There are many mirror themes, including opposites, time running backward, and so on.
Chess
Whereas the first book has the deck of cards as a theme, this book is loosely based on a game of chess, for which the author provides a list of moves even if the game cannot be carried out legally due to a move where white doesn't move out of check (much as might happen if a seven or eight year old was playing chess).
Recycled characters
The Mad Hatter and the March Hare make an appearance as the Hatta and Haigha.
