Fantasy fiction. We think that the world has been pacified, that the wild things of this Earth have been tamed, and all is at peace. We go to bed at night, thanking God we are British and that the Empire has brought order and stability to the globe. But all is not as it appears. For in remote and hidden places, strange and deadly creatures still lurk. High in the heavens deadly Kraken patrol the skies and deep underground the mysterious Shide lie slumbering, ready to stalk our dreams. Scorpion-tailed Manticores prey upon our soldiers in the Persian hills and in the snowy mountains of Tibet the legendary Yeti waits in ambush for the unwary Himalayan traveller. Yes, even with these emerald isles, Monsters linger Vampires, Lycanthropes and Ghoti. I, Major Jack Union, know these creatures inside out, indeed have spent a lifetime searching for them, hunting them down and wiping them from the face of the globe. In this book, I reveal the secret world of Monsters, their appearance, their habitats, their method of attack. I give you the means to defend yourself and the means to preserve the Empire. This, dear friend, is my legacy.

A dragon on the run. A clever curse. And a Queen desperate for power. Alice didn't ask to come to Wonderland, and she certainly didn't ask to be tasked with breaking a curse. But thanks to a snarky cat on a mission, that's what she'll have to do if she wants to return home from this magical world. Alice has always been embarrassed about growing up in the notorious slums of turn-of-the-century London, but it did teach her to be resourceful. She's going to need all her wits to defeat the Queen, break that curse, and restore the crown to its rightful heir. Can Alice succeed without losing her head- or her heart? Follow Alice down the Rabbit Hole to find out in Jabberwock's Curse, first in the YA fantasy retelling of Alice in Wonderland.

No good deed goes unpunished. After risking her life to defeat Wonderland’s treacherous queen and break her curse, Alice thought the rightful heir would be wearing the crown — and she’d be home by now. It’s been a long time since she could trust a garden hedge to stay put or get a moment’s peace away from the incessant chatter of the local fauna. But what she didn’t know is that breaking the Queen’s curse triggered a clever trap that has tied Alice to the Prince’s future. Now, she faces an impossible choice - marry a man who doesn’t love her or enter the labyrinth to win back his throne. And if she waits too long to decide, she’ll die. Tired of being a pawn on the political chessboard of a world that isn’t her own, Alice decides to change the game and play by her own rules. But destiny is determined to get what it wants — and destroy anyone who stands in its path. Join Alice on a new adventure in Jabberwock’s Champion, the second book of the Looking Glass Chronicles — a fairytale retelling of Alice in Wonderland for YA readers.

She thought Wonderland couldn’t get any worse. She was wrong. When Alice stepped through the Looking Glass, she expected to go home. Instead, she’s still stuck somewhere in Wonderland. Worse, she’s surrounded by angry Fae, accusing her of a crime she didn’t commit. Trying to prove her innocence is anything but easy with the Fae king’s advisor trying to keep her locked up, and the Fae prince thinking she’d make an excellent pet. When Chess shows up, Alice’s relief is short-lived — he didn’t come for her. Instead, he’s on his own desperate quest for a Fae artifact that will keep the Red Palace beast at bay. But the Fae won’t give up the prize until their culprit is caught. So, Alice and Chess will have to capture the real villain if they want to keep the Red King from losing his mind and the Red Prince from losing his throne. And if they play their cards right, they might defeat the Red Queen for good and get a happily ever after for themselves, too. Join Alice on a final adventure down the Rabbit Hole in the last installment of The Looking Glass Chronicles, a fantasy retelling of Alice in Wonderland for YA readers.

Transcending Boundaries: Writing for a Dual Audience of Children and Adults is a collection of essays on twentieth-century authors who cross the borders between adult and children's literature and appeal to both audiences. This collection of fourteen essays by scholars from eight countries constitutes the first book devoted to the art of crosswriting the child and adult in twentieth-century international literature. Sandra Beckett explores the multifaceted nature of crossover literature and the diverse ways in which writers cross the borders to address a dual readership of children and adults. It considers classics such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Pinocchio, with particular emphasis on post-World War II literature. The essays in Transcending Boundaries clearly suggest that crossover literature is a major, widespread trend that appears to be sharply on the rise.

Queen Malice and her team set off toward Jabberwock Valley, where they hope to find a new body for their friend and teammate, the woefully decapitated Jabberwock. Their journey will no doubt be fraught with peril, but Malice is more concerned with the crushing withdrawals she's going through, due to running out of black rose. She hopes she can keep it together, despite her bouts of viciousness from a malfunctioning heart. Any further breakdowns could lead to very awkward social situations. And the team is stressed enough already, what with the agonies of a dramatic love triangle, and the threat of a powerful chief who wants to capture Malice, for reasons that aren't entirely clear yet. Can they arrive at Jabberwock Valley in one piece? And without Sleepy B committing a childish mistake requiring rescue? Or without the Cheshire Cat offending any of the team with his sharp tongue? Or without Malice breaking either the Mad Hatter's or Humpty's heart? No doubt something is bound to happen. Malice just hopes she can get through the whole nerve wracking mess without having to resort to any black rose "substitutes" along the way.

All three books of the Jabberwocky Trilogy in one value priced package! The decapitated Jabberwock’s head is still functional—he just needs a new body. 15-year-old Queen Malice wants to help her buddy, Jabby, as she likes to call him. And so she plans a quest to Jabberwock Valley, where most of the other jabberwocks live. But Jabby isn’t the only one they must help. Wonderland itself is in danger, because a creature known as the Snark threatens to reunite the monster tribes and revive a realm known as Woeland. So Malice works on assembling a team. Of course, the Mad Hatter, Humpty, and the Cheshire Cat will tag along. But the Knight still has a crippling fear of little girls. There are other complications. 11-year-old Sleeping Beauty wants to go on the quest as well. But most jabberwocks hate little girls. Jabberwock mothers even sing their babies “little-girls-goodbyes,” which are like lullabies, except gorier. Malice also struggles with the intoxicating effects of the black rose. She finds herself taking more of the flower each day, and it’s becoming harder to stop. Will they be able to thwart the Snark? And who is the mysterious “secret admirer” who sends Malice creepy notes via pigeon? And can she prove to the Knight that she no longer has any “little girlness” inside of her, by going through a series of the Knight’s anti-little-girl challenges? Because it’s the only way he’ll join the team. And they’ll need a lot of help if they ever hope to stop the Snark and survive their journey to Jabberwock Valley.
