I've hit a few that are good, but not great, but overall, I'm still liking this one. The second Alice is Wonderland story, for example, was more poignant, but not nearly so much fun as the first. Overall, a strong collection so far.

So this is a collection of short stories, which I really should have known going into it. So far it seems all of them allide in some way against the work from the common body of shared literary experience. The second story brings in a hall of mirrors form of Peter Pan.

This may yet be the best book I've read in 2017, and I've found many books to love in 2017.

I've barely started this book and the little boy is tugging at my heart. Yolen is a master.
