review 1: Delightful. I love finding all-ages books to read and recommend. This one has a nod to Jan Svankmajer! It thankfully doesn't lean heavily on the Alice story, but it does take the spirit of the walrus/carpenter characters along and it gives them a quest. I particularly like the rhyming narrative interludes like this one: "The evening fell so suddenly; it came as quite a shock. The manners were most negligent-- It didn't even knock."
review 2: As someone who loves Wonderland and who wishes there were more decent, all ages comics, Roger Langridge is my new hero.In a Kingdom similar to Wonderland, but not quite, the King has gone missing and the only ones that can save the land from an evil conspiracy are his children.Unfortunately, they are an eight year old girl ... moreand her toddler brother and the only allies they have are the Walrus and his dimwitted sidekick, the carpenter.Reads like a really good fantasy novel or a brilliant cartoon series. The art is clean and bright, the writing is clever and fun and it's fun seeing how Langridge re-imagines the various wonderland characters.After 'Bone' this is the series you should be giving to kids to get them into reading and/or comics. less
