Books like After Alice by Gregory Maguire
Gregory Maguire’s *After Alice* reimagines a post‑wonderland world, contrasting the chaotic, rule‑shifting realm down a rabbit‑hole with the orderly climate of 1860s Oxford. The novel centers on Ada, a friend of Alice mentioned briefly in *Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland*. Ada’s visit to the missing heroine ends too late, and she herself tumbles into Wonderland. Carrying her own, flawed grasp of cause and effect, Ada embarks on a surreal odyssey to find and safely return Alice from the bizarre realm beneath the surface.

"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland began as a tale told by Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson to three young girls (Lorina, Alice, and Edith Liddell) as the group took a rowing expedition up the Thames River. Enthralled by the story, Alice Liddell asked Dodgson to write the story down for her, and he eventually did. In 1865, three years after their initial boat trip, Dodgson published Alice's Adventures in Wonderland under the pen name Lewis Carroll. Like its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, Alice is a story filled with imagery, symbolism, and unforgettable characters. As the critics in this volume attest, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has sparked the imagination of countless children and adults alike, and has served as an influence to storytellers the world over.
