REVIEW
I believe every author, no matter what genre they prefer to master their craft in, has a common goal of provoking their reader’s imagination and allowing them to escape into another world; another life. Lewis Caroll’s Alice’s Adentures in Wonderland certainly did that, and if the stories within the pages of this book are anything to go by, imaginations were set alight with the most magical tales.
Some macabre, some malevolent like the Red Queen, and others as mad as the Hatter himself, this was a spectacular blend of twisted tales that embraced the characters of a much loved classic. I thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of them, and there is definitely a story for every type of reader within this book. And the amazing artwork that accompanies these stories also deserves a special mention.
This was a fantastic celebration of a masterpiece.
