Alice Through The Looking Glass with 175 readers in aid of Cancer Research UK
Chapter 3 of "Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll is titled "Looking-Glass Insects." In this chapter, Alice enters the garden on the other side of the looking glass and encounters some unusual insect-like creatures. These creatures have a peculiar way of communication; they start by saying the end of their sentences and end by saying the beginning. Alice tries to converse with them, but their backwards speech is quite confusing. The chapter showcases Carroll's whimsical wordplay and introduces readers to the fantastical world on the other side of the looking glass.
