{"product_id":"9781782010104","title":"Alice's Adventures in an Appalachian Wonderland","description":"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.","brand":"Evertype","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062537371888,"sku":"9781782010104","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781782010104_p0.jpg?v=1763718675","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781782010104","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
