Publisher's Synopsis
Alice in Blunderland: An Iridescent Dream is a satirical novel written by John Kendrick Bangs. It is a parody of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and follows the adventures of Alice as she falls asleep and enters a strange and absurd world filled with puns, wordplay, and political satire. In this version of Wonderland, Alice encounters a variety of eccentric characters, including the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts. However, in Blunderland, these characters are reimagined as politicians and public figures of the time, and their antics reflect Bangs' criticisms of American politics and society in the early 20th century. The book is full of witty humor and clever wordplay, making it an entertaining read for fans of both Carroll's original work and political satire.1907.
