Lewis Carroll's classic "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" has been
translated into over a hundred languages, from French to Japanese
to Esperanto. In this translation into the rich dialect of the
Appalachian Mountains, the translators have treated the story as a
folktale, in order to create the sense that the reader is listening
as an adult tells the story to a child. The story has been
transported from Victorian English to post-Civil-War West Virginia,
into an Appalachian setting appropriate for the dialect. The
spelling used aims towards a literary orthography, rather than
towards a phonemic respelling of the language entirely, and so it
avoids unnecessary "eye-dialect" ("funkshun" instead of "function,"
and so forth). The sounds of the language used in "Alice's
Adventures in an Appalachian Wonderland" will certainly be familiar
to most readers, but a short glossary has also been included.
