Fantasy

“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 Englishwomen come to that?”

A poltergeist in tattered leotards, a queen suffering from hypersomnia and a psychotic arsonist. These are not the Rumpelstiltskin, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella that Alice knows and loved. Nevertheless, Alice needs to get them and other fairy tale characters out of Wonderland if she’s to mend Time, save the world and return home. And find Jack, the feathered boy she fell in love with on her previous adventure.

Alice’s quest is not helped by the fact that she has been charged with treason. Or by the advances of Jakob, a dashing mediaeval estate agent. Or by the fact that she is growing younger by the hour. And then there are the Hatter, monstrous Eelers and Queen of Hearts, all of whom have very different designs on our confused heroine.

Will she succeed? Who cares as long as it’s a non-stop journey of fantasy, fun and madness.

Praise for the stand-alone prequel story Alice Falls Again:

“A brilliant and amusing reinvention.” Kirkus Reviews

“Stoneham imbues his prose with a wit and poetry … an ideal fantasy for Carroll fans.” blueink

“Fantastical wonders and head-over-heels adventures abound.” Foreword Clarion
