Notes


"[This] is the freshest most delightful combination of information with fanciful adventure we can remember. Although Mr. La Prade says this is not the same Alice who fell down the rabbit hole, she has a right to consider herself a near relative, for in her experiences in Orchestralia she shares many of the engaging traits that have endeared Lewis Carroll's Alice for so long. ..."
