ALICE... ALICE... ALICE... IMAGINE ALICE

2010-01-12T15:46:00.000-08:00

Read in French: The latest bilingual book by Jeannette Ward

Alice in Wonderland, the latest film by Tim Burton, starring Johnny Depp, was inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, which was also the inspiration behind Imagine Alice Jeannette Ward’s bilingual book in French and English published by Talents Hauts

In his 3-D digital film Tim Burton, the director of Beetlejuice, says that the other versions of Lewis Carroll’s book that he has seen, were more of a succession of strange events. In his own film he wanted to create a story with an emotional link between the spectator and his Alice, played by Mia Wasikowka.

In Burton’s version of Alice in Wonderland, Alice is seventeen and about to get married but she escapes down the rabbit hole... where Johnny Depp, the Mad Hatter seems to run the show and is as mad as ever. The White Queen (Ann Hathaway) is as icy as you would expect and the Red Queen (Helen Bonham Carter) is perfectly... cruel. If the trailer is to be believed, the film should be a big hit.

Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was a real discovery for Jeannette Ward. For although she had read it as a child, it was only when she was able to read it in English (she is French) that she could really appreciate it. So, when she was looking for an idea for a bilingual novel, she thought of Alice, a French Alice with her older cousin, visiting Oxford to improve her English, and meeting a number of strange characters inspired by those that appear in Lewis Carroll’s story...

IMAGINE ALICE
was published almost a year ago, so while waiting for Tim Burton’s film to be screened in a cinema near you, you could improve your French or your English by reading Jeannette Ward’s bilingual book.

Read in French: The Latest Bilingual Books for Teenagers by Jeannette Ward
Read French with Bilingual Books. They are not only useful for teenagers, they are also a very good way for adults to improve their French.
In September 2007, Jeannette Ward wrote KARNI MATA , a story set in London about a group of friends looking for the lost statuette of the Indian goddess Karni Mata. It was her first bilingual novel (French – English) for teenagers, and was published by the French publishing house EDITIONS TALENTS HAUTS in June 2008, in their DUAL BOOKS Collection.

Since KARNI MATA, Jeannette has had four further bilingual books for teenagers published by EDITIONS TALENTS HAUTS: IMAGINE ALICE in February 2009, a story about a young French girl called Alice who visits Oxford and has some very curious adventures and SECRET PASSAGE in June 2009 a story about a group of youngsters who visit a medieval castle in the South-West of France and discover a mysterious tunnel to another world. The two latest are THE LAKE MONSTER published in October 2009 and CYBER INTELLIGENCE in June 2010.

Summary of KARNI MATA : (ISBN 978-2-916238-24-1)

Lisbeth, a young Anglo-French girl from Oxford, meets Mina, an
antiques dealer in London, and her granddaughter, Jade. When Jade
and a statuette incarnating the Protection of the Indian goddess Karni

Mata disappear, Mina asks Libeth and her friends for help. Strange, almost supernatural things occur as the teens dash around London on the trail of Jade and her talisman.

Summary of IMAGINE ALICE: (ISBN 978-2-916238-35-7)

Alice and her cousin Léa are spending their holidays in Oxford. They are staying at Mrs Cussheds’ Guest House, where they meet a

talking cat. The cousins are invited to a tea party by W. Tibbar, a curious individual who is always in a hurry and who sets the collection

of very eccentric guests a difficult riddle to solve. (Freely inspired by Lewis Carroll)

Summary of SECRET PASSAGE: (ISBN 978-2-916238-47-0)

Every summer, Amy and Scotty spend their holidays with their parents in the South of France. But this year is different: they are moving into the old fortified castle of the village. With their French friends, Camille

and Julien, they discover a secret passage to the 15th century!

The DUAL BOOKS collection is an original idea, as the chapters alternate between French and English, the first chapter is in French, the second is in English and so on throughout the book. Readers therefore need to read in both French and English to understand what is happening in the novel. The novel are written with a modern audience in mind and at the end of the book, there is a “BONUS” with a bilingual vocabulary, a quiz and cultural information relating to and developing the subject of the novel.

Although the language used assumes at least 2 years of practice, these small novels are relatively easy to understand, as there is a lot of dialogue and each chapter is quite short.
SO THE READER WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY READING IN BOTH FRENCH AND ENGLISH W
