"Both a tribute to and a celebration of Lewis Carroll’s story, this collection includes new adventures by eleven favourite contemporary children’s authors, each of whom has been inspired by Alice"
It’s more than 150 years since the publication of Alice in Wonderland and it is delighting today’s readers as much as it ever has. Both a tribute to and a celebration of Lewis Carroll’s story, this collection includes new adventures by eleven favourite contemporary children’s authors, each of whom has been inspired by Alice. With such an extraordinary set of characters and scenes to take as starting points, the stories are wonderfully varied. Pamela Butchart chooses to write about the Queen of Hearts in a follow up story, while Swapna Haddow picks the Mock Turtle. There’s an environmental message in Lauren St John’s lively story ‘Plum Cakes at Dawn’, while Robin Stevens puts the real Alice into her Oxford set story. Together they make for a sparkling collection, one well worth tumbling back down the rabbit hole to enjoy.

Funny and exciting short stories about Wonderland that are perfect for children (and adults) that have always wanted to return that magical place.
This is a really funny and exciting set of stories about Wonderland. I liked reading lots of different authors telling stories and I thought they were all really good, particularly Pamela Butchart and Maz Evans. This would be a really good book for people to read if they like Alice in Wonderland and want to get to know Wonderland better.
I would like to see more books like this about Wonderland, and also books about other famous stories that have new short stories as well.... Read Full Review
