Grin: The Unauthorized Biography of the Cheshire Cat

"Curiouser and Curiouser," Alice said. Some things are truly timeless, and Alice of Wonderland and it's more nonsensical inhabitants are somewhere at the top of that list. Since it's original 1865 inception, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol, Alice and her friends have undergone all sorts of transformation, from novel, to animated film, to video game, comic book, to a live action film, and who knows where else you might find them.

To me, there was no character more memorable than the riddler, the grinner, the Cheshire Cat. And now, Adam Danielski is offering the world the Cheshire's biography, giving us a peek in his life before Wonderland, and the Red Queen, and Alice.

Instead of a new take on the familiar world of Wonderland, Danielski zeros in on a particular character with a very signature grin and provides us the story of his orgin, something never done before with the mysterious Cheshire Cat. Danielski even provides us with the very first chapter of his novel which you may find here. A few pages in, it's easy to see that Danielski is quite the talented writer; clear, creative, and rather brilliant. Navigating the talking trees and singing flowers of Wonderland will be easy with Danielski and I can't wait to see where his imagination has taken everyone's favorite vanishing feline.

But to get the entire novel, Danielski is running a fundraiser on Kickstater to help with publishing costs. You can pledge today and pre-order your copy! Learn the reason for that grin and own Grin today. Hurry; there are mere hours left on this fundraiser!
