From The Publisher:
Have you ever wondered...
Who really stole the Queen's tarts? Whatever did become of the Walrus & the Carpenter after their nefarious jot down the briny beach with the little Oysters? Is there truly any sense to be found in nonsense at all?
Come follow Alice down the rabbit-hole once again as Lewis Carroll's timeless classic is reimagined through the lyrical language of Wonderland...where a Caterpillar dispenses an indelible lesson, a Cat offers safe haven and (fairly) sound advice, and a Hatter and Hare throw a mad tea party before matching wits at the trial of the century!

About the Author:
J.T. Holden's primary creative influence was his maternal grandfather, an Irishman and amateur storyteller who passed away when J.T. was still a boy. But his grandfather's love of limericks and rhyming poetry continued to influence him into adulthood and eventually led to his first book Alice in Verse: The Lost Rhymes of Wonderland, a reimagining of the Lewis Carroll classic, written entirely in rhyming verse.
He is also the author of the forthcoming books Bedtime Tales for Naughty Children, a collection of spooky rhyming poetry based upon legends, folklore, and faerie tales, and O the Dark Things You ll See!, a spooky parody/homage to the Dr.
Seuss' classic Oh, the Places You'll Go!
