Thousands of miles from the blood-soaked room in Miller's Court, a little girl named Alice Pleasance Liddell had already become immortal as the inspiration for Lewis Carroll's \u003cem\u003eWonderland\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat no one thought to ask was this: what did these two women share? The answer is Wales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn into the same mythic landscape of coal valleys and windswept coasts, fairy rings and ancient prophecy, both women were shaped by forces far older and stranger than Victorian England ever acknowledged. Now, in a groundbreaking investigation that spans Celtic mythology, royal conspiracy, occult ritual, and literary genius, Nigel Graddon reveals the hidden threads connecting Wonderland's golden child and Whitechapel's darkest night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat if Mary Kelly wasn't murdered that November morning? What if the \u003cem\u003eAlice\u003c\/em\u003e stories were never simply a tale told on a sunny afternoon? And what if the ancient Celtic Otherworld holds the key to both?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCeltic Tales of Evil and Wonder\u003c\/em\u003e is a journey down the deepest rabbit hole of all - into the heart of Wales, where innocence and shadow have always walked hand in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResearcher Nigel Graddon presents a groundbreaking investigation arguing that Lewis Carroll's \u003cem\u003eAlice\u003c\/em\u003e stories drew deeply from Welsh Celtic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003emythology - and that Mary Jane Kelly, long recorded as the Ripper's final victim, may have been spirited out of London alive under cover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eof the very crime that supposedly killed her. Both women were born in Wales, and both stories, Graddon argues, have been profoundly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003emisunderstood. Drawing on census records, photographic forensics, cryptographic analysis, Celtic literature, and a remarkable Vatican source,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ethe book reframes two of the Victorian era's most iconic narratives as Welsh stories - tales of evil and wonder born from the same ancient landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo","offer_id":46819199549650,"sku":"67eb6b62-7e59-3b3b-bf28-2645c1b6451d","price":6.29,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/image_35273db7-3ad4-4cc0-9e0f-a38fcdeb0b6b.jpg?v=1776826985","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/fr\/products\/celtic-tales-of-evil-and-wonder-mary-jane-kelly-alice-pleasance-liddell","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
