Down the Treacle Well Launch-

The book is here!!

Book Description:

While visiting a museum in England, Ben and Kyle experience the extraordinary. Gazing at the Alfred Jewel, an ancient Anglo-Saxon artifact, they watch as it spins, contorts, and evaporates from its case, taking them with it.

Whisked back to Victorian England, the brothers are shocked to find themselves sprawled on the floor before Mr. Charles Dodgson, also known as Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland.

They soon learn that the famous author’s muse, Alice, is missing. Alice has used the Alfred Jewel to enter Wonderland and, by so doing, has upset the time continuum. The only way for the boys to return home is to locate Alice and return her safely.

But Wonderland is a strange and dangerous place…

GOING TO WONDERLAND

Very soon I’ll be producing video installments to introduce people to the world of Lewis Carroll and Wonderland. Much of the material formed the background for the book that will be released in November (Down the Treacle Well, Tuxtails Publishing). Join me as we go on this adventure of discovery. Here are some photos from the studio I’m currently setting up.
