Once upon a Wonderland
Can Alice uncover the truth to escape her twisted fantasy?--
Fee-fi-fo-fum! boomed the ogre.
Why do you keep quoting Shakespeare's King Lear? asked Alice. And while we're on the subject, why can you only smell the blood of Englishmen? Why not other nationalities? Or English women come to that?
--
A poltergeist in tattered leotards, a queen suffering from hypersomnia and a psychotic arsonist. These are not the Rumpelstiltskin, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella that Alice knows and loves. Nevertheless, she needs to get them and other fairy tale characters out of Wonderland if she's to mend Time and return home. And rescue Jack, the feathered boy she's in love with.
A brilliant and amusing reinvention. Kirkus Reviews
Stoneham imbues his prose with a wit and poetry ... an ideal fantasy for Carroll fans. blueink
Fantastical wonders and head-over-heels adventures abound. Foreword Clarion
A poltergeist in tattered leotards, a queen suffering from hypersomnia and a psychotic arsonist. These are not the Rumpelstiltskin, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella that Alice knows and loves. Nevertheless, she needs to get them and other fairy tale characters out of Wonderland if she's to mend Time and return home. And rescue Jack, the feathered boy she's in love with.
Alice's quest is not helped by accusations of treason from the local inhabitants, the advances of an arrogant Pied Piper and the fact that she is growing younger by the hour. And then there is the Queen of Hearts and her cohorts to contend with.
Alice's journey is peppered with surreal events, gritty wordplay and the sinister backstories to popular fairy tales, making this stand-alone follow-up story to Alice Falls Again a must for younger and older adults alike. Praise for the prequel Alice Falls Again:A brilliant and amusing reinvention. Kirkus Reviews
