In this beautifully 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.
Josie George is a non-fiction writer, columnist and well-being influencer with a dedicated social media following. She lives in the West Midlands. She wrote the highly acclaimed memoir A Still Life. She's a columnist for The Guardian Country Diary, sharing a different view of nature from her urban neighbourhood, often from her mobility scooter. Josie spends her days finding doorways into remarkable places right where she is (even if that's in bed). The ordinary world has something to say and she's determined to listen.
Becky Thorns is an illustrator based in Cornwall. She works with publishers and media on a wide range of exciting projects. She enjoys the great outdoors or curling up with a nature documentary.
