The March Hare doesn’t have a lot of pre-made costumes, but you can take them and embellish them. Another option is to create your own or find handmade costumes which have a steampunk look. You can also add steampunk accessories to the costumes. 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. Off with Your Shoes!

Setting (4/5): This whole world is well done, it’s a steampunk London and the story stays in the city. The particulars about how this steampunk London is run with the airships and layout are very well done. This was a creative and fun setting that was easy to picture. 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.The last part of Curiouser and Curiouser was so different and detached from the beginning that it felt like the ending to a totally different book. Again, this is bad writing. I didn't mind the craziness of the story, but I minded a whole lot that none of this pedal-to-the-metal insanity was set up or foreshadowed. Like, all of a sudden there is blood and dead virgins and executions and ancient Egyptian rituals and magic and I didn't even know such things existed in the world of this book. So William and Alice finally go to see the queen and: The only reason I wasn't able to give this a full 5-star treatment was the style of writing this story was told in. It was too jarring for me and actually detracted from the flow of the narrative. This might turn some people off and others may not have a problem with it. But I believe I would have enjoyed this even more if the flow of narration had been a lot smoother. William was a scoundrel that you have to love. Gets himself in trouble, has men do and is saved by Alice.

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.

Adult Costumes

Lesley Parkin provides the outstanding narration of Curiouser and Curiouser. This is the first time I’ve ever listened to her. Sometimes I have a learning curve with a new narrator, but I experienced no issues following her performance from the get-go. Her voice is clear and easy to understand. Her pacing is spot-on. She expresses all the expected emotions and the voices she used for the characters are ideal fits. Her south London accent made listening to this audio book a pure pleasure. I can’t wait to listen to her again soon! 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. All of these costumes are for children from toddler to tween. You can certainly see how easy of a costume this is because it is really like wearing regular clothes. You can also dress it up with leggings like the tween costume or add a tutu for young girls. Children’s Costumes

The Red Queen and White Queen can be steampunked up, however the original versions are more Victorian than steampunk. You can embellish any of these costumes with gears and create your own scepter or alter the one shown below. I'm left wondering if the sentence "but the transition had been smooth" is meant to read "but the transition hadn't been smooth". Either way, it does't really make sense to me. Also, they live together. How they hell have they not found the "timing" to get it on? And why not? How does that serve the story? It is only a detriment to the believe-ability of their relationship. So why? I don't even like romance. Why am I advocating for it? Because it would have made their relationship better, that's why. Just a little bit of sexual tension would have added another level to their dynamic. Instead, their interactions are cheesy and boring and predictable. 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. Alice In Wonderland Starry Night Vintage T-Shirt Design Off with Your Shoes! Queen of Hearts Alice in Wonderland Door Mat Use this cool miniature Mad Hatter hat for a costume or as a display mantel piece or centerpiece. So many details on this top hat and well made to wear over and over.

I do wish the steampunk elements had been in depth. They were only hinted at in small doses. Maybe if the book had been longer then more could have been explored. I never read anything that has to do with Steampunk. I know what steampunk is but I've never fully looked into the subject matter. I saw this and since I haven't read many Alice in Wonderland retellings Immerse yourself in Wonderland. This event is inspired by the characters from Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass but with a steampunk twist! Take a magical journey through Wonderland solving puzzles and riddles and meet your performers. You will also be tasked with solving the crime of who stole the tarts! Using forensic clues and clues hidden in puzzles you will be able to narrow down the suspects until you decide who the culprit may be. William grinned. "Well, it wasn't exactly a kiss that came to mind," he said. His eyes met mine. William and I had been friends since we had been children. Somewhere along the way, we'd fallen in love. But the transition had been smooth. As of yet, we'd never quite crossed the line into a more physical relationship. It wasn't that I didn't want him. It was just that the timing had never felt quite right." (p.115) Alice in Wonderland Book Scarf Alice in Wonderland Characters Mini Party Table Centerpieces 5″ Each
