Alice didn’t have adventures in Wonderland after following a white rabbit in a waistcoat. Hatter Madigan knows the truth only too well, and he is searching every corner of our world to find the lost princess and return her to Wonderland so she may battle Redd for her rightful place as the Queen of Hearts. Lost and alone in Victorian London, Alyss is befriended by an aspiring author to whom she tells the violent, heartbreaking story of her young life. But in the pool, Alyss and Hatter are separated. To escape Redd, Alyss and her bodyguard, Hatter Madigan, must flee to our world through the Pool of Tears. Alyss Heart is the heir to the throne, until her murderous aunt Redd steals the crown and kills Alyss’ parents. The Myth: Alice was an ordinary girl who stepped through the looking glass and entered a fairy-tale world invented by Lewis Carroll in his famous storybook. It’s not outstanding but I spent a few very enjoyable hours with this book.įirst sentence: Everyone thought she had made it up, and she had tolerated more taunting and teasing from other children, more lectures and punishments from grown-ups, than any eleven-year-old should have to bear. And then this little alternate Alice in Wonderland comes along and actually makes it worth my while. And as much as I enjoy pointing out just why I hated a book, I’d much rather read books that I enjoy. June is not even halfway over but with only one good novel and one fantastic comic book (which I’d read before), there was simply too much disappointment. This was going to be my last try at fairy tale retellings for this month.
