After Alice by, Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked, tells the story of Ada, a friend of Alice's who's briefly mentioned in the original work. Ada goes in search of Alice and finds herself tumbling down into Wonderland and into her own adventure.
Alice's sister Lydia, meanwhile is above ground and not too worried that Alice has disappeared while in her care. Its a wonderful and inventive new take on a familiar story with some added characters and new twists and turns.
Maguire is known for rewriting fairy tales with his own unique and offbeat take on them; fans of his or of Alice will enjoy this new work.
