Chapter 7: The Lion And The Unicorn

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

Chapter 7 of "Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll is titled "The Lion and the Unicorn." In this chapter, Alice encounters a procession of bizarre characters, including the White King, the White Queen, the Lion, and the Unicorn, all of whom are involved in a comical and nonsensical battle. The chapter is a whimsical representation of a conflict between the Lion and the Unicorn for the crown. As with much of Carroll's work, this chapter is filled with wordplay and absurdity, highlighting the absurdity of the rules and logic in the world through the looking glass.
