More about the book
The book explores Cockney Rhyming Slang, a playful linguistic tradition where words are replaced with rhyming phrases, often shortened for casual use. This unique form of expression, rooted in London's Cockney culture, has transcended its origins to influence English globally. The author creatively applies this slang to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," treating it as a linguistic game rather than a straightforward translation. This approach aims to produce a whimsical artifact that reflects the humor and inventiveness inherent in both the slang and Lewis Carroll's work.
