Reviews

On Apr 19 2008, BayShore Books LLC said:

This is one of the most fantastically imaginative books I have read in a long time. I was completely hooked after the prologue unveiled “Alice’s Adventures Underground” by Lewis Carroll and the devastation this caused the real Alyss. Frank Beddor has done a remarkable job weaving this “true” version of Wonderland through the beloved fairy tale.
