From the multi-million-copy bestselling author of Wicked comes a
magical new twist on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, published to
coincide with the 150th anniversary of Lewis's Carroll's beloved
classic.When Alice toppled down the rabbit-hole 150 years ago, she
found a Wonderland as rife with inconsistent rules and abrasive
egos as the world she left behind. But what of that world? How did
1860s Oxford react to Alice's disappearance?In this brilliant work
of fiction, Gregory Maguire turns his dazzling imagination to the
question of underworlds, undergrounds, underpinnings--and
understandings old and new, offering an inventive spin on Carroll's
enduring tale. Ada, a friend of Alice's mentioned briefly in
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, is off to visit her friend, but
arrives a moment too late--and tumbles down the rabbit-hole
herself.Ada brings to Wonderland her own imperfect apprehension of
cause and effect as she embarks on an odyssey to find Alice and see
her safely home from this surreal world below the world. If
Eurydice can ever be returned to the arms of Orpheus, or Lazarus
can be raised from the tomb, perhaps Alice can be returned to life.
Either way, everything that happens next is "After Alice."
