    What's the story

    Fantasy adventures offer an escape into worlds where the imagination knows no bounds.

    Inspired by Lewis Carroll's iconic works, such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, this genre blends whimsy, wonder, and a touch of the absurd.

    Here are books that capture the essence of Carrollian fantasy, inviting readers on journeys through enchanting realms where logic is twisted and reality is but a distant memory.

    Book 1

    'Furthermore'

    "Furthermore" by Tahereh Mafi is a vibrant journey set in a world where color and magic intertwine.

    The story follows Alice Queensmeadow, who embarks on an adventure to find her missing father in the whimsical land of Furthermore.

    With its richly imagined world and playful use of language, this book captures the spirit of Carroll's Wonderland while introducing readers to a unique fantasy landscape.

    Book 2

    'Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Making'

    The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne M. Valente takes readers to Fairyland, a realm of whimsy and peril.

    The protagonist, September, embarks on a quest filled with odd characters echoing Carroll's creations.

    Valente fuses folklore with fantasy, offering a tale that resonates with familiarity yet brims with originality.

    Book 3

    'Stardust'

    In Stardust by Neil Gaiman, the protagonist Tristran Thorn ventures from his village, Wall, into a magical realm akin to Through the Looking-Glass.

    His mission to capture a fallen star for his beloved intertwines with encounters involving witches, airships and faerie folk.

    Gaiman's narrative skillfully combines the ordinary with the fantastical, reminiscent of Carroll's ability to surprise readers with the unexpected.

    Book 4

    'Momo'

    Momo by Michael Ende is a tale where time travel reveals its impact on human life.

    Momo confronts time thieves who rob people of their hours, stripping them of the chance to relish life's joys.

    Ende weaves a story that questions our view of time and existence, all while echoing the whimsical tone of Carrollian fantasy.
