Elsie Schrotthaufen lives in a world full of wonder! No, wait, that’s Flipper – famous TV dolphin. Elsie Schrotthaufen lives in a world, just like you and me, but maybe a little more cluttered and prone to avalanche. She’s a profoundly brilliant writer, but can only sustain that brilliance for the length of a sentence or two. You are very happy to have made her acquaintance.

Elsie has for many years maintained a Tumblr blog, Elsie Schrotthaufen’s Book of Wonders, from which her contributions to the present issue have been culled.
