The Very Last Alice Book

Question:

I was just wondering about the end of the last Alice book. You say that it will show Alice at 18, and then 60. When Alice is 60, will it be just one chapter, or the second half of the book, or one little page?

Phyllis replied:

The book will be whole chapters of Alice at different ages.  But each chapter skips five years or so, the first chapter when she’s 18, the last chapter when she’s 60.  We’re talking about the very last book in the series, which is already written and in a fireproof box here in my office, waiting to go to the publisher in 2012, to be published in 2013.
