Letters from Wonderland

I am a little strange, but warm like porridge and sunshine. I grow things and find treasures. I know the names of the birds and the trees. My body and my mind work differently to most. I am full of surprises. Will you join me?

Wonderland exists outside of stories.

It's in the cracks between the pavement.

In overgrown gardens, down amongst the weeds.

It's a witchy, magical, enchanted place.

It's waiting for you.

And it needs you.

Follow the trail laid out for you in this sumptuously illustrated book of letters that will lead you on a journey of discovery into the magical world all around you.

If where you live feels grey and boring, if you've ever felt different or alone, doubted yourself or wondered if you really matter, if you've found yourself feeling sad that magic isn't 'real' or longed to feel like someone special in a real story, this book is for you.
