When it was first published in 1879, Kate Freiligrath-Kroeker's adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland" was the first time Lewis Carroll sanctioned a published edition of any dramatization of his novel. While other adaptations took liberties with the story, Freiligrath-Kroeker's adaptation was extremely faithful to Carroll's original. It proved very popular, especially for "home dramas." It was reprinted many times and today ranks as one of the better adaptations from the Victorian era.
