For some minutes Alice stood without speaking, looking out in all directions over the country?and a most curious country it was.? curled up in an armchair with her black kitten, Kitty, as Alice shares with it her ideas about a looking-glass house, she suddenly finds herself up on the chimney-piece, on the other side of the mirror. In a room that looks much like her own but where everything is exactly reversed, Alice sees chessmen walking around. And as she steps out of the looking-glass house into the garden of live flowers, she is taken to the Hill by the Red queen. ?I declare it?s marked out just like a large chess-board!?

I couldn't mind being a pawn, if only I might join?though of course I should like to be a queen, best.? as Alice embarks on an adventure, joining in as a pawn in the game and exploring this fantastical world of chessmen, Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, will she become a queen?.
