The ‘wrong-way-round idea’ dominates the book, because this kind of game was a favourite of Carroll’s. However, Carroll met Alice Raikes in August 1868, when the story was already well advanced, so this story is doubtful ( Carroll x). He tied the chess stories and the other individual ideas together into a single story with the use of two main themes: chess and mirror images.Ĭarroll’s distant cousin Alice Raikes suggested that she gave him the idea for the Looking-Glass theme, when he asked her to stand in front of a mirror, holding an orange, and tell him in which hand she was holding it. Many of these stories were also used for his second ‘Alice’ story. He made up stories to illustrate the moves of the pieces and the rules of the game. In the six years since he wrote Alice in Wonderland, Carroll had been teaching Alice and her sisters the game of chess. “ Looking-Glass made up almost wholly of bits and scraps, single ideas that came of themselves.” In the article ‘ Alice on the Stage‘ he remarked: While writing the ‘Looking-Glass’ story, Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) used a lot of material that he had come up with earlier.

There have also been some children known to have been born to one magical and one non-magical parent. Witches and wizards with non-magical parents are called Muggle-borns. Since Muggle refers to a person who is a member of the non- magical community, Muggles are simply ordinary human beings without any magical abilities and almost always with no awareness of the existence of magic. The term Muggle is sometimes used in a pejorative manner in the novels. The equivalent term used by the in-universe magic community of America is No-Maj, which is short for No Magic. It differs from the term Squib, which refers to a person with one or more magical parents yet without any magical power or ability, and from the term Muggle-born (or the derogatory and offensive term mudblood, which is used to imply the supposed impurity of Muggle blood), which refers to a person with magical abilities but with non-magical parents. Muggles can also be described as people who do not have any magical blood inside them.
