Edward Hope wrote "The Lantern", a humorous column in the New York Herald Tribune. Several 1928 columns mention Alice in the Delighted States. One for Christmas week (1928-12-17 p16) is devoted to the contribution purportedly by Harford Powel, Jr. (1887-1956 satirist, editor, advertiser). It is a modest contribution to meet the two book publishers' need for a plan "to lessen Sales Resistance on the Two Best Books of 1928", namely Hope's Alice and Powel's The Virgin Queene.

1st UK ed. Price from advertisement by the publisher The Observer 1928-10-07 p9; "Here Alice is turned loose in the Wonderland of the United States."

Probably published September or October. Listed in "Books Received" The Times of India 1928-10-05. No September advertisement found in newspapers.
