Anna James: Alice with a Why - Interactive Event and Book Signing

We are thrilled to be welcoming the wonderful Anna James to the shop to celebrate her latest book, Alice with a Why! Anna is also the author of the hugely popular Pages & Co. and Chronicles of Whetherwhy books.

Return to Wonderland with Anna James in this interactive, chatty event. Anna will talk about the inspiration for the book and her relationship with Alice in Wonderland and invite young readers to join in with a true or false game, a writing activity to create their own wonderland tea party story, and help come up with some entries for Anna's nonsense dictionary.

This creative event is recommended for ages 8-11 and will be followed by a public signing of Anna's books.

Your £5 ticket price will be redeemable against any of Anna's books purchased in the shop on the day. You can also order Anna's books here to secure them ahead of the signing and collect on the day. Please do not bring additional books from home. This will ensure that everyone has time to meet the author during the signing.

If you are unable to attend the event, you can purchase books by Anna James here and request a dedication (first name only) in the Comments Box at Checkout. These books will be available for postage/collection at a later date.

We are looking forward to a spectacular Alice-themed day, and you are welcome to dress up in a Wonderland-themed outfit!

About the book:

Alice with a Why is an extraordinary reimagining of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Alyce – with a Y – lives with her grandmother, the original Alice. When a mysterious invitation to a tea party hits her square in the face, Alyce finds herself in a land that feels different from the Wonderland of her grandmother’s stories. The Sun King and the Queen of the Moon are fighting over a stolen hour, and soon Alyce is tasked with setting it right. With the help of the Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and a Sailor Fox, Alyce will have to solve Wonderland’s problems and, eventually, find her way back home.
