I can't recommend this book enough, I am looking forward to reading more in Melanie Karsak's fairytale Steampunk books. I HIGHLY recommend! A must read for Alice Fans! Even if you aren't a fan of Alice you will be a fan of this book for sure. SOOOOOO GOOD!!! This unique gift is a terrific Mother’s Day idea. You can give this scarf to anyone you know who loves Alice in Wonderland fiction. This infinity scarf is made from American-made, cream-colored fabric, super-soft 100% cotton jersey knit, about 63-inch circumference and 12-inches wide. Look for other book scarves as well. Instead of "STEAMPUNK ALICE IN WONDERLAND", the tag-line for this book should be "AN ALICE IN WONDERLAND/STEAMPUNK THEMED ROMANCE". Curious indeed, and a fantastic read. Imagine a fusion between Alice in Wonderland and Oliver Twist. It's that compelling. And witty, adventurous and clever.

That’s what you get with Curioser and Curioser by Melanie Karsak. This book is the start of a lovely adventure amongst Steampunk fairytales. So far the series is just four books to enjoy, but we’re hoping for more. Karsak also has a series of Steampunk Red Riding Hood tales which is up to six books, and an Airship Chronicles series of two so far. Great for any Steampunk Lover. Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite stories ever. Or better said: It's one of my favorite worlds and concepts ever. I've read a lot of retellings during the last few years, some better than others, but I don't think I came across a Steampunk one yet. Let me start this review with the fact that I'm not that into Steampunk and don't know that much about it, but I was curious anyway. Alice, Mad Hatter, das weiße Kaninchen, die Herzogin..., alle bekannten Figuren haben kleinere und größere Rollen. Man erfährt, wie das weiße Kaninchen zu seiner Taschenuhr kommt und nimmt an der berühmten Gartenparty der Herzkönigin teil, mit Flamingos und rollenden Köpfen.

A boy with a mop of striking white hair, wearing an expensive but oversized waistcoat, slipped between us and was gone again in a flash. This story is filled with well-developed characters full of life and complex emotions. All of the characters you know from the original Alice in Wonderland are here but in completely new incarnations. Each is recognizable as their original counterpart but reworked into new and interesting characters all their own. Alice, who is exactly the kind of heroine I want to read about, is smart, strong-willed, and full of heart. Teapots, flamingos, whimsy, and chaos... it's all in this book that is a kind of retelling of the classic Alice in Wonderland but with many differences that assist in making it it's own story. All of the beloved characters make an appearance in some form or fashion and Alice is recreated to be a strong heroine that is intelligent and resourceful, but makes mistakes.

A second silver-plated Alice in Wonderland charm bracelet to give to a friend or someone special. This one has different charms than the first one we showed you. The bracelet is adjustable for wrist size by using different chain loops. While I liked the story I wasn't fully in love with it. I didn't connect with the characters. Alice at times was a little rash. I did love Bess and Henry aka the hatter.

Need a gift for someone that keeps telling you Alice in Wonderland is too girly for them? This Starry Night t-shirt will work for anyone you know without too much pink. Great for a giveaway or prize during a mixed Alice in Wonderland party. First of all, the phrase "the grassy spot" is repeated from the previous paragraph, which wouldn't really be an issue if the phrase "a moment later" wasn't also repeated twice in such a short excerpt. And I'm not quite sure what "from the inside" means. Shouldn't it read "I saw a flash of lamplight from the inside [of the abbey]"? At first, I thought it meant they were already inside the abbey, but it says right there that they are in the grass on the side of the abbey... so maybe it means they are inside the property? I honestly don't know.

Curiouser and Curiouser doesn't retell the story of Alice in Wonderland. It is a totally original story by Melanie Karsak that uses the names from Alice in Wonderland to tell what is basically a romance. I'm pretty sure the author is just writing and self-publishing her own fantasies, and that is totally fine. However, I can't help feel that Karsak is misleading the reader by stamping STEAMPUNK ALICE IN WONDERLAND in all-caps on the top of her book. The steampunk elements in this book are minimal and the Alice elements are minimal so... why? Just why? She has a total of four "steampunk fairy tales" books, and I'm sure the other three are similar to this one.

Alice in Wonderland Wall Art, 8×10 Set of 4 UnFramed Prints Alice in Wonderland Book Infinity Scarf PCS Alice in Wonderland Fairy Charms Collection 42pcs Mixed Vintage Skeleton Keys 40pcs Antique Bronze Alice in Wonderland Charms Alice in Wonderland Garden Statues All in all, I am a little disappointed. I think that this could have gone a whole different way and been so much better. But to each their own. If nothing else, at least I gave it a shot. In case you were wondering about the steampunk elements in this book... they are minimal like I said. Our characters travel in airships and there are some automatons at the end. There is also this stupid mechanical cat that doesn't add to the plot or anything. It is only there so that they could name it Cheshire and call it "steampunk". Ugh. So basically, this book has a steampunk skin (meaning that the steampunk elements are only skin deep). I'm tired of books like this that call themselves "steampunk", but really only have the most stereotypical steampunk aesthetics like corsets, automatons, goggles, parasols, etc. I have listened to Lesley Parkin in one other audio, Highland Raven, also a Melaine Karsak book and loved her work then. Curiouser and Curiouser is no exception. She does a plethora of accents and different pitches for the assortment of characters and reads through smoothly. As someone who frequently hits the 2x speed option to move things along, I am always surprised to find narrators that I simply want to enjoy. I will certainly be adding more of her work to my TBR in the future.

We at Steampunkary love the different things you can make with printables, so we went on a hunt for the best Alice in Wonderland-inspired printables. All four displayed below are to assemble journals with the Alice in Wonderland theme. These all have vintage/distressed-looking designs and old-fashioned imagery. I really liked the audio narration. Typically I struggle with accents but this one was just right to keep it engaging and keep my attention. I enjoyed the voices, especially the sweet little voice given to Alice's sister. What makes this different from a jewelry box? Well, only the spelling. Another stunning box to store your Alice in Wonderland jewelry collection. Stunning work. Need an easy gift for friend or loved one who loves Alice in Wonderland? This adorable bracelet is full of Disney-style silver-tone charms including the Mad Hatter’s hat, key, Cheshire Cat and Looking Glass.
