JKB's "Further attempts at spoof fantasy [...] have been forgotten. ... Emblemland (1902) with Charles Raymond Macauley, whose Fantasma Land (1904) is a Bangsian spoof" -- SFE: Encyclopedia of Fantasy "Bangs, John Kendrick"

"Fantasma Land, by Charles Raymond Macauley, and The Well in the Wood, by Bert Leston Taylor, are both published by the Bobbs-Merrill Company. They are whimsical, topsy-turvy tales, effective, though not in the same class as their models, the Alice books." -- New-York Tribune 1904-12-17 pA5, "Stories for the Younger Tribe"
