Wonderland: An Anthology by Marie O'Regan, Paul Kane
3.0

Anthologies are really tough to rate! With different stories from different authors, it's really difficult to figure out what to rate the actual collection.

This book is, as the title implies, a collection of stories based on Alice in Wonderland. Some of the stories are continuations of the original book, some are inspired by Alice's adventures, and some are very loosely connected to the ideas of Wonderland. There were some hits and some misses in this book, as to be expected. My favourite was one called 'About Time', in which a 14 year old girl feels she is finally ready to grow up and goes down the rabbit hole to say goodbye to her friends in Wonderland.

If you're a fan of Alice in Wonderland, it's definitely worth skimming through this book and seeing if anything jumps out at you!
