In 1862, the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson went on a rowboat outing with friends, including three daughters of the dean of Oxford`s Christ Church College - Lorina, Edith, and Alice Liddell. Dodgson made up a story to entertain the girls during the short trip - Alice asked him to write the story down, and he agreed to. The result was Alice`s Adventures under Ground, which friends of Dodgson`s encouraged him to publish - it was to go through substantial revision and expansion before becoming the tale we are so familiar with today. Readers can now have a glimpse into the genesis of one of the greatest children`s stories of all time.

Some things never change. New York City, 1896. Hypocrisy in high places is rife, police corruption commonplace, and a brutal killer is terrorising young male prostitutes. Unfortunately for Police Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt, the psychological profiling of murderers is a practice still in its infancy, struggling to make headway against the prejudices of those who prefer the mentally ill - and the `alienists` who treat them - to be out of sight as well as out of mind. But as the body count rises, Roosevelt swallows his doubts and turns to the eminent alienist Dr Laszlo Kreizler to put a stop to the bloody murders - giving Kreizler a chance to take him further into the dark heart of criminality, and one step closer to death.
Aliens love underpants, It`s lucky that they do, For pants helped save our universe, Sounds crazy, but it`s true! Aliens in underpants are back - and this time they are on a mission to save the world! A gigantic meteorite is heading for planet earth and the aliens` pants supply is under threat. Can our crazy aliens save planet earth and secure their pants supply forever more?
