According to Alyss Heart, Lewis Carroll got Wonderland all wrong (even the spelling of her name) when he penned his classic. The premise for author Frank Beddor's LOOKING GLASS WARS young adult series is that Alyss Heart was forced to flee Wonderland when Redd Heart made a violent grab for her throne. Exiled to Victorian England, Alyss tells her woes to the aspiring author, Mr. Carroll. Mr. Carroll then has the audacity to clean up the tale and turn it into a silly children's story!
Author Frank Beddor delights in toying with Lewis Carroll's brilliant classic right down to taking credit for its existence. Lewis Carroll's non-sensical, hypnotizing creation, though, was penned first in the halls of Oxford and we owe him much for all the stories he has inspired.
After listening to the talented narrators Gerald Doyle and Michael York voice two very different Mad Hatters on the audiobooks, join the conversation. Does Beddor's YA series lead readers and listeners back to Carroll's wonderful original? Do the details from each enrich the other?
