Welcome and I hope you enjoy the topic of today:
fiction that is playful and magical and interactive and fun. 🌈✨
As I mention in the episode, this is not a category that already exists in libraries and bookstores, but a rather personal mix of my own.
These are the books and authors mentioned:
🪄Alice in Wonderland - By Lewis Carroll
🪄The Jabberwocky:

And what do all these books have in common?
Well, they are all for children AND for adults. Maybe carrying a different message for each group.
They make a particular use of repetition for comedic effect.
There's plenty of interaction with the readers and they feature very unusual narrators.
Long story short (ha!) they are more than the story they seem to be. They carry an extra shot of magic and surprise to razzle-dazzle their readers.
