>From the Introduction:<br>
<br>
Lewis Carroll is a pen-name: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson wis the makar's
richt name an he wis lecturer in Mathematics in Christ Church, Oxford.
Dodgson started the story on 4 July 1862, whan he teuk a turn in a rowin
boat aboot the river Thames in Oxford thegither wi the Reverend
Robinson Duckworth, wi Ailice Liddell (ten year auld), the dauchter o
the Dean o Christ Church, an wi her twa sisters, Lorina (thirteen year
auld), and Edith (aicht year auld). The poem at the start o the beuk
narrates that the three lassies wis wantin a story aff o Dodgson an, tho
no juist eident at first, he startit tae tell the first mak o the story
tae them. Many a reference, hauf-scoukit, is made tae the five o them
ootthrou the text<br>
<br>
As faur as I ken, this beuk sets oot the first translation o Ailice’s
Àventurs in Wunnerland intae Scots (that we aince caa’d “Inglis”). This
leid haes cam doun fae Auld Northumbrian, the Auld English that wis
spoken fae the Humber tae the Lothians. It’s a near relation o Staunart
English, but there’s many a differ in baith grammar an vocabulary.<br>
<br>
I’ve uised tradeetional spellins the likes o wis set doun bi Burns,
Scott, Slater an many ither, tho wantin the “apologetic apostrophes” ye
aft see in thae beuks. This is gaes alang wi maist writins in Scots fae
the aichteenth<br>
century on, an reads fine tae modren Scots spaekers bred up tae sic
tradeetions. Tho this approach is faur fae purist, I’ve ettled at bein
as conseestent as possible.<br>

Lewis Carroll is a pen-name: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was the author's
real name and he was lecturer in Mathematics in Christ Church, Oxford.
Dodgson began the story on 4 July 1862, when he took a journey in a
rowing boat on the river Thames in Oxford together with the Reverend
Robinson Duckworth, with Alice Liddell (ten years of age), the daughter
of the Dean of Christ Church, and with her two sisters, Lorina (thirteen
years of age), and Edith (eight years of age). As is clear from the
poem at the beginning of the book, the three girls asked Dodgson for a
story and reluctantly at first he began to tell the first version of the
story to them. Many half-hidden references are made to the five of them
throughout the text of the book itself, which was published finally in
1865.<br>
<br>
To the best of my knowledge, this edition presents the first translation
of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland into Scots (which historically has
also been known as “Inglis”). This language is a descendant of Old North
umbrian, the Old English once spoken from the Humber to the Lothians.
It is closely related to Standard English, but differs from it in many
particulars of both grammar and vocabulary.<br>
<br>
I have used traditional spellings such as might be seen in the works of
Burns, Scott, Slater, and many others, though without the “apologetic
apostrophes” often seen in these works. This is in harmony with most
writings in Scots from the eighteenth century onwards, and makes for
comfortable reading for modern Scots speakers brought up with those
traditions. Although this approach is far from purist, I have tried to
be as consistent as possible.<br>
