 Alice Through The Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll with 175 readers in aid of Cancer Research UK 

In Chapter 1 of "Alice Through the Looking Glass," titled "Looking-Glass House," we find Alice entering an alternate world by passing through a giant, enchanted looking glass. This world, unlike her previous adventures in Wonderland, is a land where everything is reversed. Alice encounters the Red Queen, who invites her to become a pawn in a gigantic living chess game. The chapter sets the stage for the chessboard landscape of this strange and whimsical world and introduces the concept of moving forward while staying in the same place, which is a recurring theme throughout the book.
