Alice's Advenchers in Wunnerlaund
Description
Lewis Carroll wis the pen-name o Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a maths lecturer at Christ Church, Oxford. His weill-kent story originatit durin a rowin trip on the Thames in Oxford on 4 July 1862. Dodgson wis accompanit on this jaunt bi the Rev. Robinson Duckworth and three young lassies: Alice Liddell, the ten-year-old dochter o the Dean o Christ Church, and Alice's twa sisters, Lorina and Edith, wha wis thirteen and eicht. As we see frae the introductory poem, the three lassies wis on at Dodgson ti tell thaim a story, sae he stertit ti tell thaim, reluctant-like at first, an early version o the story that wis ti become Alice's Advenchers in Wunnerlaund. As a result there's a nummer o hauf-hidden references made ti the five traivellers in the boat throughoot the text o the book hitsel, which was finally published in 1865.
Wi the drily comic-laconic tone that's common ti the pairt o Scotland kent as "the beggar's mantle wi a fringe o gold," Dr Hubbard turns Dodgson's resourcefu "English rose" inti a gallus Fife lassie.
