All in all, this was overall a good selection of stories, with a range of interesting topics. While some stories such as "Epithmalion" could do with improvement, others such as the poignant "The Rabbit Within" were a sheer delight.
A very uneven collection of short stories having to do with Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderland books. Some of the stories have Caroll's characters in the modern world, other stories take place in Wonderland.
An antholigy of short stories by some great authors.
A selection of some of the current masters of fantasy personal take on Lewis Carroll's Wonderland
