Beware the Little White Rabbit: An Alice-In-Wonderland Inspired Anthology by Charlotte Bennardo
4.0
Wonderland. I love Wonderland. Reading about Wonderland always feels like coming home, even though it's not always simple to find new and interesting Wonderland stories. When one of my favorite authors, A.G. Howard, recommended this short story collection I searched wherever I could to find myself a copy. I found an old library book and as soon as it reached me, I started reading.
Just like with every short story collection there were stories really speaking to me and stories I enjoyed a little less, mostly because we simply weren't a good fit. I think that's the true power of story collections. There is gonna be something in there for everyone. Everyone will always find that one story they want to re-read over and over again.
However, I always admire authors who can write short stories like these. All those authors created new worlds, some more complicated, others more rooted in our world, but still. All those authors created characters and in most of the cases I actually really started caring about those characters. And all those stories had a beginning, a middle and a finale.
In true Wonderland fashion the only thing truly connecting those stories was the presence of a white rabbit in one way or another. Some stories were truly bizarre or even a little sinister, like the Wonderland stories I fell in love with long ago. Other stories were lighter or much more loosely connected to the theme.
However, if you love Wonderland and enjoy short stories, I'm sure you'll find that one white rabbit you'd wanna follow!
