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. Like Alice in Wonderland, Alice in Blunderland is the fantastic tale of Alice in a land where nothing is as it should be. We travel to Blunderland, where children live in the Municipal Home of the Children, the Duchess is their mother while the City is their father. We encounter the dormouse, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and the other characters so familiar to us from our childhood. This is a witty, humorous tale of adventure and city politics.
