THE LOOKING GLASS WARS by Frank Beddor, read by Gerard Doyle



Frank Beddor's imaginative tale is definitely not your grandmother's ALICE. Herein, Wonderland is an alternate universe, the source of all creativity in our world.

All ages will enjoy this first in what promises to be a wild and wondrous trilogy.
