Cover of Alice's Adventures in Cambridge

Alice's Adventures in Cambridge

A complete reproduction of the rare 1913 parody, brought back to life for the first time in nearly one hundred years!

For those of us, like the Dormouse, who are "neither athletic nor prominent," stumbling into "the Yard" can be about as bewildering as falling into a rabbit hole. When narrated by the legendary Harvard Lampoon, the trip is all the more—well—trippy. Nearly a century after its first publication, Alice's Adventures in Cambridge is still a delight. And though you may need to look up allusions to purple socks, Keezer's Clothing and the Manter Hall School, the peculiarities of prestige and the allure of elitism remain timeless
