003 - Chapter II The Duchess and the House

Step into a whimsical adventure with New Alice in the Old Wonderland, an unofficial sequel to the beloved classic. Meet Alice Lee, a spirited young American girl and devoted fan of the original tale, as she discovers a magical door that transports her to the enchanting realm of Wonderland. There, she encounters cherished characters like the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Red Queen, alongside a host of intriguing new faces. Unlike her English counterpart, Alice Lee embraces her power within this fantastical world, refusing to be a mere bystander in her own story. While this novel serves as a heartfelt homage to Lewis Carrolls works, it also faced his disapproval, with Carroll nearly pursuing legal action against its British publication, ultimately choosing to prioritize his reputation and privacy. - Summary by Mary Kay and Carolin Sigler
