  "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," written by Lewis Carroll in the mid-19th century, is a classic children's novel. The story follows a young girl named Alice, who, feeling bored and sleepy while sitting by a riverbank, encounters a White Rabbit. Intrigued, she follows the Rabbit down a rabbit hole and plunges into a fantastical world filled with curious creatures and whimsical adventures. 
  At the beginning of the book, Alice daydreams about her surroundings before spotting the flustered and animated White Rabbit. Her curiosity leads her to pursue the Rabbit, resulting in her tumbling down a deep rabbit hole. This brings her to a curious hall filled with locked doors. As she navigates this new world, Alice experiences a series of bizarre changes in size after eating and drinking mysterious substances.  
  Initially frustrated by the challenges posed by her fluctuating size and the peculiar inhabitants she encounters, Alice begins to explore her surroundings. The narrative sets the tone for her whimsical and often nonsensical adventures, which characterize the entire tale.

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.
