3rd novel. Illustrated by Jeff Noon.


"In which Lewis Carroll sends Alice through a clock's face. She travels through time, to 1998, in Manchester. Her adventures in the weirdness of now." --Jeff Noon.


"In which Jeff Noon takes on the mantelpiece of Lewis Carroll bringing Alice thoroughly up to date. Not so much a sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, more of a trequel, the third book in a series of misadventures, even weirder than your dreams.

"When Alice travels through time and hits the pavements of a retro 1998 Manchester, she encounters an automated future crowded with mutant hybrids, sinister game play, chaos theory, a roboAlice doppelgänger, quantum physics, computermites, jigsaw killers, tickling Vurt feathers, puzzle poems, secret messages and an invisible cat called Quark." [jacket blurb, UK uncorrected proof copy, August 1996]
