About this ebook

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. The Truth: Wonderland is real. Alyss Heart is the heir to the throne, until her murderous aunt Redd steals the crown and kills Alyss? parents. To escape Redd, Alyss and her bodyguard, Hatter Madigan, must flee to our world through the Pool of Tears. But in the pool Alyss and Hatter are separated. 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. Yet he gets the story all wrong. 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.

What Frank Beddor has done is truly amazing; he's taken Alice's tales in Wonderland and showed you what they could have been. Right from the start, you will see all the thought he has put into writing it, from Wonderland culture to the England streets. The whole series is a must read, as well as Hatter M's series!

If you love alternate versions of alice in wonderland than you are going to LOVE this one. I cant tell you how many times ive read this trilogy. Its filled with action and a little romance here and there. If you're looking for something new to read this is definitely it.

this is one of the best adaptation until it was Carol's adventure! so creative without being tedious. (kind of like, "oh, that line before" or "I've heard that scene before" And, in addition, what they did to make the Mad Hatter, so formidable! in his on a series of books as a spinoff! AND, 3 comics (Crossfire, something and something). Alice In Wonderland, in any form, has always been my favorite adventure!
