Alice is not "the" Alice from the story we all know, but is in fact the grand daughter of the famous Alice that we all know in our storybooks. The real story of the original Alice is so much different and led to a mad Hatter and a fairy who is set to help the Hatter meet his match. This is the story that comes after (way after) the story of Alice and Wonderland that we all know. This book had a brilliant premise and I enjoyed it. It was a good read with a fast pace.Alice was a great character. It was so easy to bond with her and you got a great history and character growth of who she is and why she loves the Hatter the way she does. The Hatter was, well mad. He was such a well developed character and the world he created (through the words of the author) was amazing.I always enjoy when an author can take a story that we know (such as Alice and Wonderland) and spins it into something more. I'm so intrigued by this series (so much so that I have already finished the 2nd book and a review will be posted very soon on that book as well). This book was short and felt more like a novella than a full length book.I recommend this book for mature audiences only. It has everything you might want and is a great fairy tale escape.
