Alice in America-Land or, Through the Picture Tube and What Alice Found There

In this fresh and lively update of Lewis Carroll's classic, Alice takes a journey through the picture tube of her family's television, and meets a mad collection of characters - with a certain difference! A White Rabbit - who lives in fear of someone's dropping “the big one."A Mock Turtle" who's a champion of consumer rights. A Dodo who's a guitarist, a Dormouse seeking political office, and an Eagle who lives in the past. The Duke and Duchess have switched roles - she's a "working duchess" while he's a "house duke." Alice herself becomes the unwitting subject for a showbiz roast with two aging, bitter comedians - the Mad Hatter and the March Hare. Through it all, Alice just wants to return home to her beloved cat. Just when it seems as though this mad world of America-land will drive her as mad as the inhabitants, she awakens, safe at home, her cat in her lap. A fanciful, biting, always funny tale of a contemporary Alice that will delight all audiences. The author is a noted comedy writer, who has written for such notables as Johnny Carson, Bob Hope, and Rodney Dangerfield. By author of Twain By the Tale
