The LGW Librarian Blog

The submarine docked in San Pedro Bay and after a harrowing skeuter ride up from the south bay I arrived back in Los Angeles as the clock struck 3:33 am.

Fully restored after 3 hours of isolation tank deep sleep I arrived at the Hatter M Institute on the decaying and somewhat noxious Miracle Mile early this morning to discover Mr. Beddor’s private office overflowing with arcane research, unopened invitations to tea, discarded, crumpled pages from the ms for book 3, a broken mirror and a single, odd shaped shoe. What revelry had been transpiring in my absence? I knew Mr. Beddor had been sequestered here working day and night on the revelatory text of book 3 – but I hadn’t realized just how sequestered. And now it appears he has disappeared!

Col. Barlow reported that Mr. Beddor was last seen a week ago with his battered leather briefcase under his arm muttering…”it can’t be true…it can’t be true” as he took the stairs one flight at a time in bounding leaps heading for the street. If it hadn’t been time for lunch at the club (Tuesdays are pigeon pie) Col. Barlow may have been more curious as to Mr. Beddor’s unusual behavior and followed him. Instead we are left with a mystery that begs to be solved.

I will put the question first of all to you, the LGW Reader: Can anyone Imagine where he has gone?

Curiously yours,

Pour the tea and pass the tarty tarts the party is about to begin. As a minor eccentricity I would like to play this youtube music video to add to the ambiance.

As a research question does anyone recognize the origin of this minor masterpiece? It is true you know…the world is so much stranger…so much darker…so much better….than anyone ever tells you.I have been deeply immersed in a cache of scrolls written in the language we have identified as originating in Wonderland. They were recently unearthed in a Tokyo temple and have only now wiped the ancient dust from my hands to join you here. Hopefully the workload from Mr. Beddor’s discoveries will lighten sufficiently for our gatherings to become more regular and more meaningful. If anyone has any topics or questions they would like to see addressed in my next post let me know. I must excuse myself now for a steamy communal bath and a tall hot saki since it is the local custom and I do not wish to offend…

Picture if you will, the towering shelves of ancient texts, stone walls covered with  crumbling maps of lost worlds and the intricate crystal mobiles depicting parallel universes that surround me as I sit pondering the deep questions we all ask ourselves in the quiet isolation of our own Imaginations.

However, as much enjoyment as we all get from our imaginations and the companionship of an excellent book, there are still those times in the day when most would enjoy the company of literate, forward thinking friends that share our enthusiasms and sense of adventure. In answer to this void I have decided to create a blog for the discerning fans and friends of LGW. 

Some of you may wonder what my duties as LGW librarian include.  Well, first and foremost, I am not one of those librarians who hiss ‘Shhhhhh’ all day.  I am a research librarian and much of my time is spent assisting Mr. Beddor uncovering facts and validating the intricate paper trail documenting Alyss’s adventures both in Wonderland and our world. At the present time, he is deeply immersed in writing book 3 of the LGW trilogy. Of course it is all very top secret and I am sworn to keep my lips sealed, however,  there may be times that I cannot keep from sharing a thought or two on what is to come.

Other topics I will muse on include further evidence of the Lewis Carroll conspiracy to suppress the truth, news of the Hatter M Institute and their boisterous all day luncheons, the adventures of my good friend and literary sleuth Agnes MacKenzie, new and old books I highly recommend, worthy websites to visit and news of the progress of the LGW film (Question: Which A list actress has been knocking at our office door hoping for an audition? She even baked muffins!  I told her, next time bake tarty tarts and you might have a chance.)

And of course, I look forward to visits from the ‘Readers Who Write’ since the whole point of this blog is to create an intellectually stimulating tea party for fantasists, futurists and LGW fanatics.

The LGW booth will be at the Phoenix Comic-Con this weekend January 26-27.  Liz Cavalier (co-author of the Hatter M comic series) will be tending the booth so if you are in town stop by and say hello.  I’ve asked her to please stay alert to all interesting adventures, curious sightings and unusual happenings so that I may share them here with you.

Long Live Alyss!
