Although Carroll intended \u003cem\u003eLooking-Glass\u003c\/em\u003e to be a follow-up piece to the immediately successful \u003cem\u003eAlice's Adventures in Wonderland\u003c\/em\u003e (1865), he created an entirely new fantasy world with a revised narrative structure. The twelve-chapter format was retained, but \u003cem\u003eLooking-Glass\u003c\/em\u003e is significantly longer than \u003cem\u003eWonderland\u003c\/em\u003e (224 compared to 192 pages in the first editions), and introduces a range of new characters, and is framed by Alice's progression across a chess board to become queen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis new edition focuses solely on \u003cem\u003eThrough the Looking-Glass\u003c\/em\u003e, with a penetrating and informative introduction by Zoe Jaques, including the most recent research and critical opinion on the subject matter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLewis Carroll \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eZoe Jaques is Senior Lecturer in Children's Literature in the Faculty of Education, Cambridge University and Dean of Homerton College.
