Alice In Blunderland: An Iridescent Dream

John Kendrick Bangs

A brisk wink and a waking dream, Alice In Blunderland bursts from the page with iridescent energy. A satirical fantasy novel that reads like a playful crossroads between Victorian Britain and early twentieth-century fancy, it rests on a deft parody of classic literature and a sly, political sensibility. John Kendrick Bangs paints a dreamlike, surreal journey that nods to Lewis Carroll while staking its own irreverent claim. It's humourous fantasy that marries clever wordplay with sharp social observation, inviting literature students and curious readers alike to re-enter a world where dream logic disarms prejudice and routine society is turned inside out. This illustrated edition preserves the flavour of the original while speaking clearly to today's readers, balancing reverence with modern clarity and speed. This is more than a reprint; it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A careful restoration honours the book's wit, its flights of fancy, and its sly critique of power, all while inviting new readers to celebrate its playful homage to parody of classic literature and to the enduring charm of Lewis Carroll's influence. A gem for casual readers and dedicated collectors alike, this is a doorway into a rare, imaginative corner of literary history.
