About
“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 grumpy carnivore that is more interested in Gaston than Belle and a psychotic arsonist. These are not the Rumpelstiltskin, Beast and Cinderella that Alice knew and loved. 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 charges of treason, the advances of an amorous 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 story and book two in the Wonderland series a must for younger and older adults alike.
