| Publisher Description: The two tales in this book are both responses to Lewis Carroll's Wonder-land, aimed at instilling an interest in grammar in young and recalcitrant readers. Audrey Mayhew Allen wrote "Gladys in Grammarland" in 1897. In this story, Gladys becomes sleepy after class and finds that a Verb Fairy has taken an interest in her education. Louise Franklin Bache's charming play "Alice in Grammarland" was written in 1923 for "Better Speech Week" and was published in "Junior Red Cross News" in that year. In it, Carroll's Alice returns to meet old friends the Mad Hatter and the White Rabbit, together with the King and Queen of Grammarland. |
