Alice’ story started when she followed the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole in a dream (she had fallen asleep on the lawn at a picnic), and there in Wonderland had all those strange and interesting adventures. She escaped wonderland when she woke up from her dream.
The sequel was Through the Looking Glass. Alice went through a looking glass to a fantasy world on the other side of it. Looking Glass uses many chess references in the adventures, whereas “Alice” contains more playing card references. Interesting characteristic of the White Queen: “Alice next meets the White Queen, who is very absent-minded but boasts of (and demonstrates) her ability to remember future events before they have happened.” Sounds somewhat Qish doesnt it!
I loved the books as a child but had not thought about them in years.

Thanks for the short explanation of the story. All I could remember was that it wasn’t my cup of tea, and I never read it all. Likewise, never read the other one either.
