Keto von Waberer’ stories from Wonderland are funny, mysterious, and sometimes
a little scary– just the way kids love it.
For example there’s the story of the mermaid who is friends with an octopus who doesn’t
understand why she is so crazy about cows that she’s willing to go ashore to warn the silly
creatures about an approaching storm. Or the story about the house where everything
happens of its own accord: the cooking, the cleaning, the washing, tidying up – you name
it. Of course that’s awfully convenient – until the owners notice that they have no say at
all in their own house.
Or the story about the girl who no-one will believe when she says that the plant she found
outside the butcher’s shop can talk. But it really can!
That’s how things are in Wonderland – with the most magical pictures from Rotraut
Susanne Berner.
