Luckily, Philip arrives, having saved the day. He awakens Aurora with a kiss, everyone lives happily ever after, we just have to find our dog, the end.

Anyway, our character and Aurora go up to her room, apparently without anyone to show us the way. Aurora suggests our character should look for our dog Lance, but should we?

Anyway, we go with Briar Rose to her cottage, meet her aunts and learn their true identities as Aurora and the three fairies, but Diablo has been spotted by Merryweather.

It seems we missed the scene where magic was being used to make everything. We are left with two options: stop Diablo or get Aurora to the palace.

So, sure enough, we meet a girl named Briar Rose and while we outside of the book know who that is, our character does not. Anyway, our dog Lance wanders off and this is where we get our first choices.

Anyway, we get out, find Alice nowhere to be seen and go looking for her.

We search for Alice and find her with the Queen of Hearts.

And then our character wakes up and it is all over.

Anyway, we go in to find the gloves, during which our character finds a cookie jar with Alice thinking the search is impossible.

And then we get the idea to maybe have some cookies since we are hungry, but we, meaning the readers not our character, knows what will happen, so this all depends on what everyone wants to happen next.

This would be from the Edison Marshall novel "Earth Giant" published in 1960, a Euhemeristic retelling of the Heracles myth told from his perspective.

Hippolyta is portrayed as the Queen of Cimmeria and is sometimes called "Queen of the Ambozad" because her citadel is on the river of the same name. The society she rules is not all women, the roles are basically just reversed with the men cooking, cleaning, weaving, priding themselves on beautiful needlework while the women till the fields, butcher meat, attend flocks and herds, fell trees and saw wood and build houses and byres.

Hippolyta's people are portrayed as a mixture of Celt and "Tartar", the latter being what we of the modern day call the ethnic groups that are Manchus, Mongols and Turks.

Then we go out into a garden, find Alice and the White Rabbit runs by.

Again, we have our own character, a girl Alice's age.

Anyway, we follow Alice and go down the rabbit hole as well.

So we go into the tunnel.

Read this in an old magazine called "Cavalcade" while trying to find the article "I Walked With a Zombie" by Inez Wallace. Here are some things I'd thought I'd highlight.

Flocked to Athens? What? Did James Holledge only know Helen was the queen of Sparta and presume she had been born elsewhere? He portrays Menelaus as King of Sparta already, so I presume that is the case, but that is very much not the case originally: Helen was Spartan born and Menelaus Mycenean born, he was King of Sparta by marriage.

To his credit, Holledge does not villainize Menelaus... He just goes ahead and villainizes Helen instead.

Holledge romanticizes Paris like so many do and he describes Menelaus' absence as him going on campaign in Crete. What? No! He went to his uncle's funeral in Crete! Unless there was a civil war going on with his cousin having to defend his throne from a usurper following the funeral that I never heard about, I don't think that is correct.

Agamemnon is mentioned, but besides being identified as Menelaus' brother, there is no reason stated for why he is the leader of the Achaean army. Holledge doesn't mention the fact that as basically the high king, Agamemnon was essentially the supreme leader or the number of ships that he brought. He doesn't even specify that Agamemnon is the elder, so for all we know he could be Menelaus' younger brother in this.

Yeah, sure. That is exactly it, it's not like Helen could have been forced into the marriage against her will or anything.

Anyway, Disney wouldn't allow our character to die, so Dumbo saves us.

Thus, Dumbo takes us for a ride and we reach our next crossroads.

Whatever will we do?
