Description

Was Lewis Carroll's hand-drawn manuscript of Through the Looking-Glass destroyed, or did it just go underground for 150 years? Looking-Glass House is the faux rough-draft of Carroll's 1871 sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in Carroll's own meticulous handwriting and it features more than thirty pen-and-ink illustrations that look suspiciously like Carroll's charmingly amateurish drawings from Alice's Adventures Under Ground. See how Carroll might have imagined the chess kings and queens, the Jabberwock monster and the Tweedle twins long before Tenniel drew them! Illustrations by Jonathan David Dixon. A must-have for all fans of Alice in Wonderland from Roverzone Press.

Author Biography:

LEWIS CARROLL is the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-98), author, poet, mathematician and photographer DANIEL ROVER SINGER has been a vaudevillian since he first started worrying his family with his ventriloquist/magic act at the age of 10. He founded the Reduced Shakespeare Company in 1981 and co-created the global comedy hit "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)." As a Disney Imagineer he contributed to the design of many beloved theme-park attractions worldwide; and as a performer, director, writer and designer, Rover has dedicated his life to making the world a more magical place. A proud member of the Lewis Carroll Society of North America since 1991, Jonathan David Dixon has had frequent associations with the works of Charles L. Dodgson, having illustrated The Hunting of the Snark and The Tale of the Mouse's Tail, as well as the first-ever publication of the "ballad opera for marionettes" La Guida Di Bragia in 2008 (for which he became the first illustrator in over a century to be approved by the Carroll Estate to illustrate a new work). For Theaterwork's premiere production of La Guida Di Bragia in 2009 -- the first since Carroll's own teenaged performances -- he acted as co-director/designer and composer/arranger. The event was attended by Carrollians from around the U.S. and world. He is also an actor with a number of movie and TV appearances, a member of the acclaimed Theaterwork company in Santa Fe, and a songwriter and composer. He might also have the distinction, by sheer dumb luck, of being the only person ever to walk into the British Library off the street and be granted a private showing of Lewis Carroll's original manuscript for Alice's Adventures Under Ground.
