Her Royal Bodyguard carried her to the Pool of Tears —

the ancient gateway between Wonderland and our world.

The crossing saved her life.
Yet…
it separated them for thirteen years.

Art · Ben TemplesmithHatter & Alyss in the Whirlpool

A princess without a queendom.
A child without a family.
A witness to a history no one could believe.

Art · Toby WilsonAlyss in London

Alone in Victorian England…
Alyss told her story to Lewis Carroll.
He believed her grief.
He believed her fear.
He simply couldn't believe her world.
He made the most human of mistakes.
He gave the world a story…
instead of its history.
