Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alice's Second Trip to Wonderland by Charles Lewis Dettering ISBN: 978-1-934209-46-6 Author Charles Lewis Dettering dedicates his book, Alice's Second Trip to Wonderland, to "the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) and to everyone in the world who has wished that his tales had not ceased and the adventures of Alice would continue." In this work of fantasy that has striking parallels to the real world, Alice is now 19 years old, a student at Wedgepeth College. Still a believer in what most folks consider impossible, she takes a trip to a far different Wonderland than before: this time, it appears, via a black hole. Arriving in a country that is primarily a racecourse, she experiences new adventures and encounters a variety of characters even more fascinating than she did in her childhood: an ebunnyonics-talking Brown Rabbit who is the "greatest journalist in the world," Humpty Dumpty the 600th, the Flowers of the World, a cockney dodo bird, a foul-mouthed parrot, and a Joker sentenced to death for his refusal to stop punning. The highlight of the story is, arguably, the most hilarious court trial in the history of literature. This book is illustrated with a few of Sir John Tenniel's drawings for the original Alice in Wonderland and new scenes and characters - plus a rare photo of the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson/aka Lewis Carroll holding hands on a London street with his frequent companion, little Alice Liddell, whom he made famous with his stories about her trips down a rabbit hole and through a looking glass. If you liked Lewis Carroll's childhood Alice stories, you will love this mature Alice tale still more. It is full of the kind of apparent "nonsense" in Carroll's work that had a certain amount of symbolism to it, but always was too esoteric and is now mostly irrelevant. The messages in this story of an Alice trip into a new wonderland retain the subtlety of a Carroll tale, but the satire in it produces more relevance to the present day, and is a whole lot funnier, than what you find in his Victorian era fantasies. I love the cover, the racecourse analogy, and Humpty Dumpty the 600th. The play on ebonics is very clever --Peggy Nash, Professor of Psychology, Broward College Though this new Alice tale will be considered as fantasy, the kind of world and the characters in it come across as all too real, but a whole lot funnier. I made the mistake of beginning to read it just before bedtime. Once I started I could not stop reading and laughing. It cost me a lot of sleep. --Michael C. Pantazis, President, Tembeles Real Estate As a journalist I covered a lot of funny court trials, but none equal to the humor in the trial of Alice. Anyone but a judge or lawyer (guess why) will laugh her or his head off, even while the Queen demands that the head of Alice be taken off in a different manner, for the dissection of this strange creature identifying herself as a member of the "Hu" species or, as the Dodo bird says it, a "hooman bean." The only one in the courtroom who seems to be able to get it right is the Brown Rabbit, covering the trial as "the greatest journalist in the world." Though he thinks Alice has her identification backwards in calling herself a "hu-man," since she is obviously a female, the Brown Rabbit accepts the term and, since it has never been defined before, gives it the definition in his working pocket dictionary as "a freak of nature." --Burton H. Wolfe, author of Pileup on Death Row and No Lawyer Necessary

Get a behind-the-scenes looks at how the books were created, meet Alice Liddell, the inspiration for the fictional Alice, and view the original manuscript copy of Alice in Wonderland, illustrated in Carroll's own hand. The fantastical world imagined by Charles Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll) - where a white rabbit carries a pocket watch, a crying baby morphs into a squealing pig, and a flamingo is used as a croquet mallet - has inspired countless artists to produce some of their best work. Illustrators such as John Tenniel, chose to tackle the work directly, producing illustrations, films, and shows that strive to accurately depict Wonderland. Others, such as artist Salvador Dali and director Tim Burton, freely adapted Dodgson's creation, using it as a springboard for their own incredible interpretations. Lushly illustrated paintings, artwork, and sketches, Alice's Wonderland explores how artists in different fields like art, music, theater, film, and more have interpreted Carroll's works through the ages. A must-have book for any Alice fan.

Download or read book Alice in Japanese Wonderlands written by Amanda Kennell and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first translations of Lewis Carroll's Alice books appeared in Japan in 1899, Alice has found her way into nearly every facet of Japanese life and popular culture. The books have been translated into Japanese more than 500 times, resulting in more editions of these works in Japanese than any other language except English. Generations of Japanese children learned English from textbooks containing Alice excerpts. Japan's internationally famous fashion vogue, Lolita, merges Alice with French Rococo style. In Japan Alice is everywhere--in manga, literature, fine art, live-action film and television shows, anime, video games, clothing, restaurants, and household goods consumed by people of all ages and genders. In Alice in Japanese Wonderlands, Amanda Kennell traverses the breadth of Alice's Japanese media environment, starting in 1899 and continuing through 60s psychedelia and 70s intellectual fads to the present, showing how a set of nineteenth-century British children's books became a vital element in Japanese popular culture. Using Japan's myriad adaptations to investigate how this modern media landscape developed, Kennell reveals how Alice connects different fields of cultural production and builds cohesion out of otherwise disparate media, artists, and consumers. The first sustained examination of Japanese Alice adaptations, her work probes the meaning of Alice in Wonderland as it was adapted by a cast of characters that includes the "father of the Japanese short story," Ryūnosuke Akutagawa; the renowned pop artist Yayoi Kusama; and the best-selling manga collective CLAMP. While some may deride adaptive activities as mere copying, the form Alice takes in Japan today clearly reflects domestic considerations and creativity, not the desire to imitate. By engaging with studies of adaptation, literature, film, media, and popular culture, Kennell uses Japan's proliferation of Alices to explore both Alice and the Japanese media environment.
