More About the Author

Literary sleuth and world creator Frank Beddor dared to expose the true story of Wonderland in his novels The Looking Glass Wars and Seeing Redd, volumes one and two in the trilogy. Fascinated by the ancient, illuminated cards first sighted at the British Museum, Beddor has spent ten years collecting and interpreting the scattered and elusive Wonderland decks. With Imagination deadlocked at the start of book 3, two cards were key in solving the mystery, the Caterpillar Oracles and the enigmatic card that lay buried and waiting at the bottom of the deck, known only as Everqueen. Even with the trilogy completed, Beddor is still searching and finding cards he believes will reveal more of the lost history of Wonderland.

To further satisfy the awakened curiosity of his readers Beddor has created the parallel adventures of Royal Bodyguard Hatter Madigan in the Hatter M graphic novel series and the online RPG, the Card Soldier Wars available at cardsoldierwars.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Wonderland!, November 26, 2007
This review is from: Princess Alyss of Wonderland (Hardcover)
Please pass it on! Princess Alyss of Wonderland is NOT the 3rd installment of the Looking Glass Wars. It is a scrapbook of the lost art and letters of Princess Alyss while she was a little girl living in exile in London and meant to give fans of the series even more to mull over. I had seen the cover art for this and was waiting for the book because I knew my 6-year-old would love it. We had a wonderful time going through the book together and discovering all the hidden extras and card game(!) and fun but it wasn't until I sat and read it on my own that I realized how it worked for adults as well. The narrator is a historian who guides the reader through the whole probability of this really having occurred - it's a fully formed factual basis that adds up to support the premise that Alyss was REALLY a princess from Wonderland. Visually the kids will love it - but adults get something to wrap their heads around as well. Beautiful job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Scrapbook!, November 28, 2007
This review is from: Princess Alyss of Wonderland (Hardcover)
This is a well-crafted scrapbook with some beautiful artwork. It is an excellent companion piece to Frank Beddor's Looking Glass Wars trilogy (it is NOT the third book of the trilogy as one review here erroneously states). If you like those books and/or the Hatter M. graphic novel spin-off, Princess Alyss of Wonderland provides additional backstory (or "evidence") in a visually entertaining manner. A fun read.

4.0 out of 5 stars More Ancillary than Necessary, February 8, 2008
By 
This review is from: Princess Alyss of Wonderland (Hardcover)
This book adds very little to the Beddor and Alyss Heart universe. However, it is wonderfully crafted and helps continue the mystique that Beddor is creating that Alyss was a real person trapped in Victorian England. It fills in a few gaps of her stay in England, but it is not necessary to read in order to understand The Looking Glass Wars or Queen Redd. The Hatter M comic books do far more for the overall storyline.
