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

Chapter 9 of "Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll is titled "Queen Alice." In this final main chapter, Alice becomes a queen in the chess game and participates in a bizarre, dreamlike trial. The trial involves strange characters, including the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, and the Mock Turtle, who present nonsensical evidence and engage in absurd proceedings. The chapter is a culmination of the fantastical and illogical themes that run throughout the book, offering a humorous and satirical commentary on the absurdity of rules and authority.
