Letters from Wonderland

£14.99

In this illustrated collection of letters, Josie George, well-being guru, shows readers that the world is full of magic and mystery if you only look hard enough. Because Wonderland exists outside of stories – it’s in the cracks between the pavement, in neglected urban spaces, in overgrown gardens, in weeds and upturned flower pots. It’s the wonder we all experience as very small children but that we grow out of as time goes on. Reading it is to feel bewitched – and transported to a happier place. She gives readers the tools they need to navigate through life and retain an inner peace and joy.

Description

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.

New bookseller alert! We asked our newest bookworm, Laura, to introduce herself with one book she's loved in the last year:

‘The Appeal’ is an example of the perfect mystery thriller and Janice Hallett is a must read author if you are a fan of cosy crime. The book kept me guessing throughout, was full of surprises and was genuinely such a fun read! The mystery itself was full of intrigue, you truly do not know who to trust in this book so if you are a fan of an unreliable narrator I would highly recommend it. Hallett uses a multi-media format in her novels and this really aids the experience of her writing; the reader almost becomes a part of the story. If you want an easy and digestible read, look no further.
