Alice in Blunderland: An Iridescent Dream by John Kendrick Bangs

"Alice in Blunderland: An Iridescent Dream" by John Kendrick Bangs is a playful satire that extends the adventures of Lewis Carroll's Alice to Blunderland, a city where logic is amusingly inverted. This novel satirizes the political, social, and technological oddities of Bangs' era through a narrative rich with whimsy and sharp critique.

This video presents the story with the primary narration by Ruth Golding, available through Librivox, and a foreword narrated using Eleven Labs' text-to-speech technology. The original text of "Alice in Blunderland" is in the public domain and can be found on Project Gutenberg, ensuring that its enjoyment and distribution carry no legal encumbrance.

For children, Bangs' story is a delightful romp through a world of fantastical absurdity, while adults will discern a deeper satirical layer that mirrors the societal follies of both Bangs' time and our own.
