G. E. Farrow 2 hr 29 min read

Little Girlie tumbles into the topsy-turvy land of Why, where the downtrodden King called the Wallypug is bossed about by his own subjects, in a merry Wonderland-style nonsense adventure.

G. E. Farrow's 1895 novel is a whimsical fantasy for children in the Alice tradition. Playful, absurd, delightful. Read it for a charming Victorian nonsense romp of backwards logic and comic creatures, illustrated by Harry Furniss, where a child's visit to an upside-down kingdom makes for pure good-humored fun.
