Series
The Looking Glass Wars
Frank Beddor · 3 novels · 2004–2009
The Looking Glass Wars reimagines Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass as a distorted retelling of real events, with Frank Beddor's trilogy presenting Carroll's books as a garbled cover version of what actually happened in a fantasy kingdom. The series follows the true story behind that cover-up, recasting Wonderland as a realm with its own wars and power struggles rather than a whimsical dream. It ran as a three-book trilogy through the 2000s.
