یہ صرف ختم ہو چکا ہے 5 میری بیٹی اور تب سے میں سال (ٹم برٹن کے فورا بعد 200 million dollar Wonderland میں یلس movie that has grossed a whopping $1,025,467,110 ٹو ڈیٹ) self-published Wonderland میں یلس اصلی. ہماری کتاب ہستلکھیت کی اشاعت کے پیچھے کی کہانی بتاتا ہے, ہاتھ سے سچتر اصل پانڈلپی, یلس مہم جوئی زیر زمین, جس لیوس کیرول میں ہمارے رشتہ دار یلس Liddell لئے ایک ابتدائی کرسمس موجود کے طور پر دیا 1864. We had originally developed Wonderland میں یلس اصلی biography in 2008 in response to an Alice In Wonderland school book day event. “ماں, ہم کس طرح یلس Liddell سے متعلق ہیں?” A successful school presentation became a fun series of workshops that somehow became a real book in development. اس کے بعد, shortly after Disney’s Wonderland میں یلس movie was announced in 2009, we presented our labor of love to a few bookstores, including some very important book people at 122 Fifth Avenue, نیو یارک شہر (Barnes and Noble Corporate Headquarters). They totally got it and we got the heads up to print lots and lots of copies of our very lush coffee table masterpiece. “Don’t be late for the March 5 (2010) date,” I recall my salesman Jan Russo saying – مارچ 5 was Disney’s release date for Wonderland میں یلس and the date on which our book was to be merchandised instore alongside Disney’s extensive selection of Alice movie books featuring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, این ہیتھ وے, Mia Wasikowska and all movie things Wonderland میں یلس. The consumer could be impulsive at point of sale. Hmm, liked the movie. This must be the backstory. یہ کام کیا. Everything’s about timing.
گزشتہ سال, the British Library (the original manuscript’s primary residence in England) allowed the 90 page green morocco bound book, یلس مہم جوئی زیر زمین, to be exhibited at The Morgan Museum in Manhattan. “یلس” was turning 150 years old and all the world (including New York City) was celebrating what most consider to be the biggest children’s book of all time. Over the years since then, much has changed in the publishing businesses. Our self-publisher Author House is now owned by Penguin Random House. Most of our wonderful brick and mortar bookstores have disappeared. Less and less movies get theatrical releases. Paper represents a much higher risk than ever before and so one thinks very carefully about book promotions in brick and mortar outlets. And whatever happened to book and movie reviewers? One thing’s a given – marketing is still about timing. What could be bigger than piggy backing 150 years of Alice – why another blockbuster Disney movie of course? I don’t wish to jinx things, but I’m guessing that’s the case here.
Take 2 – Alice Through the Looking Glass opens in cinemas nationally on May 27, and around about the same date, Wonderland میں یلس ریئل will be available in Barnes and Noble stores (and of course at www.barnesandnoble.com) nationally. I agree with Pink (who sings the Jefferson Airplane’s “سفید خرگوش” hit on the trailer): “I like quirky, I like weird,” اور Wonderland میں یلس is a story that really allows us to let our imaginations run wild. In creating Wonderland میں یلس اصلی کتاب, we had to do just that. How do you follow serious academics like Anne Clark (The Real Alice) and Colin Gordon (Beyond the Looking Glass) with yet another biography? “Feed your Head”…….my translation – use your imagination!
We sought a different treatment for our biography. A format that was widely accessible. میں Wonderland میں یلس اصلی کتاب, we juxtaposed pictures of everything–from Oxford University’s scenery where the story begins to pictures of the real Alice, the fictional Alice and Lewis Carroll, to a host of illustrations from the Alice books, to original illustrations created for our publication; with everything framed in the rich Victoriana art which inspired that period in history. Our goal was to give readers a visual feast, take them on a great adventure back in time, drag them down the rabbit hole and inspire their imaginations; or as Booklist said in its book review, “a browser’s delight that gives both a sense of the times as well as a look at its subjects.”
اور تو 5 سال بعد, it is once again time for a little madness on May 27……”when the day becomes the night and the sky becomes the sea, when the clock strikes heavy and there’s no time for tea, and in the darkest hour, before my final rhyme, we will come back home to Wonderland and turn back the hands of time.”
سب کے بعد – You’ve been gone too long Alice. Friends cannot be neglected.
