Summary:

''Alice in Blunderland: An Iridescent Dream' is a novel by John Kendrick Bangs, first published in 1907 by Doubleday, Page & Co. of New York. Illustrated by Albert Levering, this work serves as a political parody of Lewis Carroll's famous Alice books: 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' (1865) and 'Through the Looking-Glass' (1871). In this whimsical tale, Alice finds herself in 'Blunderland', also humorously referred to as 'Municipal Ownership Country'. Here, she encounters familiar characters from Wonderland, including the dormouse, the Mad Hatter, and the Cheshire Cat. However, instead of whimsical adventures, Alice grapples with issues critical of collectivism, taxation, corporate greed, and corruption. The novel playfully transports readers to a satirical realm where absurdity meets political commentary. '
