But what of that world? How did 1860s Oxford react to Alice's disappearance?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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 \u003cem\u003eAlice's Adventures in Wonderland\u003c\/em\u003e, is off to visit her friend, but arrives a moment too late--and tumbles down the rabbit-hole herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAda 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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaguire, Gregory:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eGregory Maguire is the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author of \u003cem\u003eA Wild Winter Swan; Hiddensee\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eAfter Alice\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eConfessions of an Ugly Stepsister\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eLost\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eMirror Mirror\u003c\/em\u003e; and the Wicked Years, a series that includes \u003cem\u003eWicked\u003c\/em\u003e--the beloved classic that is the basis for the blockbuster Tony Award-winning Broadway musical of the same name--\u003cem\u003eSon of a Witch\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eA Lion Among Men\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eOut of Oz\u003c\/em\u003e.
