Another muppet flail for a *gorgeous* proof of Alice With a Why by @acaseforbooks.bsky.social, publishing in June by @harpercollins.bsky.social #KidLitUK. It will have illustrations, inside by Matthew Land & cover by Isobelle Ouzman, & I'm expecting a beauty.

Proof cover: like a posh white invitation with shiny gold embossed details.
INVITATION
You are cordially invited to our tea party (PLEASE BRING SUGAR)
We need your help (PLEASE BRING A TEAPOT)
Your old friends,
MAD HATTER, MARCH HARE & DORMOUSE

Back cover of proof. Text in a spiral: 'I thought perhaps you knew my grandmother. Everyone seems to.' 'And who is she?' 'She is Alice.' 'I don't know anyone called Alice,' the Caterpillar said. 'Who are you?' 'I just told you, I'm Alyce - but with a Y.'

“But her husband’s way of commenting on the strangely impressive objects around them had begun to affect her with a sort of mental shiver.” George Eliot perfectly describing getting the ick, back in 1871. Some things are universal.
