First Impressions: Darcy in Wonderland by Alexa Adams

Hey! It's almost the end of AIA, but I've got one (maaaaybe 2*) more vid(s) in me!
*I have another, just gotta get it edited!

Anyway, today we're looking at my initial thoughts on Alexa Adams' DARCY IN WONDERLAND.
Read the excerpt & guest post from Alexa here! And you can find Katy's amazing illustration & art here and here.



about the book:
Darcy in Wonderland by Alexa Adams
254 pages, Published July 15th 2017 by Presumptuous Press
Twinkle, twinkle, amber cross!
For a chain, it’s at a loss.
Heavy links or simple loop,
Do not dunk it in your soup.

The worlds of beloved authors collide as Fitzwilliam Darcy, Jane Austen’s immortal hero, finds himself thrust into the topsy-turvey world of Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland.

Many years have passed since Elizabeth Bennet became mistress of Pemberley, and the Darcys’ six children are a testament to their enduring love. As the eldest prepare to enter the world, the youngest, Alice, makes sure that life at Pemberley never grows dull. She stands out as the most intrepid of the brood, and while beloved by all the family and staff, her curious mind and penchant for mischief often proves rather inconveniencing. Never is this truer than when her father follows her down a mysterious rabbit hole, disrupting his orderly world in ways never before imagined. A treat for the young and the old, Darcy in Wonderland is both an adventure and an homage to two of literatures greatest minds.

  1. Oh, I loved hearing your thoughts, Misty! Thank you so much (and to your kitty - makes sense he'd want his share in a Wonderland story). Thrilled with the positive first impression, especially your mention of the tones blending well, as it was something I obsessed about. I think your critique of the formatting has a lot of merit. Probably won't indent the paragraphs next time, but I will definitely see what can be done about the spacing. Just one thing: you forgot to add the links to Katy's work, so here they are:

    Thanks again!

  3. I thought it was a great balance of whimsy because, yes, too much can definitely ruin things. Darcy was a good temperature gauge for that. I thought the blending of the two classics worked pretty good, too. Those illustrations are great.

    What a handsome co-host you have! :)
