Synopsis

A bizarre world where reality twists, dreams take flight, and an angry mob demands "Less Bread, More Taxes!"

In the eccentric kingdom of Outland, the sinister Sub-Warden has hatched a cunning conspiracy to overthrow his brother, the noble Warden, and steal the throne. But the true hope of the realm lies with the Warden's two enchanting fairy children: the gentle, fiercely loyal Sylvie and her mischievous, logic-defying younger brother, Bruno. Forced out of the treacherous palace, the royal siblings tumble through a surreal portal into the waking realm of Victorian England. Here, guided by ancient magic and accompanied by deeply strange companions—like an unpredictable singing Gardener and an enigmatic professor—the children must navigate a dimension filled with bizarre social rules and mind-bending paradoxes to thwart the conspirators, restore the true crown, and save Outland from eternal chaos.
You will absolutely love this audiobook if you crave classic fantasy fiction, surreal portal travel, and whimsical worldbuilding. Filled with enchanting fairy folklore, philosophical nonsense, and a brilliantly satirical look at society, this magical tale delivers a spellbinding mix of absurd humor and emotional depth. It's the perfect historical fantasy adventure for listeners eager to escape into a surreal dreamscape.
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by his legendary pen name Lewis Carroll, was a brilliant English mathematician, logician, and author of the Victorian era. Renowned for creating globally cherished masterpieces and defining the literary nonsense genre, his extraordinary ability to blend philosophical paradoxes with childlike wonder continues to influence fantasy literature to this day.

About Lewis Carroll

English writer and mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, who wrote under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, was especially known for his children's books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Besides being classic children's entertainment, they are also distinguished for their satire and verbal wit.

The son of a vicar, Carroll was a precocious child who showed early interest in both writing and mathematics. He studied mathematics and was appointed to a lectureship at Christ Church, Oxford. Carroll continued studying and prepared for holy orders for almost thirty years. Although he took deacon's orders in 1861, Carroll was never ordained as a priest.

A shy retiring bachelor, Carroll was happiest in the company of children, and his favorite was Alice Liddell, daughter of the dean of Christ Church. On a boating trip up the river Isis, Carroll told Alice and her three older sisters a story of "Alice's Adventures Underground," weaving into it many of the places and things they'd seen on their outings together. Alice was enchanted by the story and begged him to write it down. By the following February, Carroll had written a first draft and decided to publish it as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Although he wrote a wide range of other books, including many on the subject of advanced mathematics, he is best remembered for his children's classics.
