The Admiral's Caravan
"The Admiral's Caravan" by Charles E. Carryl is about a young girl named Dorothy who takes a journey with three wooden statues who come alive on Christmas Eve. It is one of many literary "imitations" inspired by Lewis Carroll's two books, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. This tale became an instant favorite among children who were inspired by the imaginative imagery in the tale.
Davy and the Goblin
'Davy and the Goblin' is a fantasy genre novel by Charles E. Carryl that was serialized in St. Nicholas magazine from December 1884 to March 1885, before being published in 1885. The story is about eight-year-old Davy who reads Lewis Carroll's classic novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland next to the fireplace, when he begins to get sleepy. A Goblin appears in the fire, munching coals, and takes Davy on a "believing voyage" where he meets a variety of characters from fantasy and literature.

He married Mary Wetmore in 1869, with whom he had two children, Guy Wetmore Carryl (who later became a poet and humorist), and Constance Carryl (to whom "The Admiral's Caravan" was dedicated). Previously, in 1891, Carryl published another children's book, "Davy and the Goblin." "The Admiral's Caravan" appeared first in serialized form in the children's periodical "St Nicholas" beginning in 1891; it was published in book form first in 1892 and remained in print for many years. "The Admiral's Caravan" is one of the last important works of nineteenth-century American children's fantasy published before "The Wizard of Oz" appeared in 1900. The story takes place -- as such stories often do -- on Christmas Eve when young Dorothy embarks on an adventure with the Admiral, the Highlander, and Sir Walter Rosettes, three wooden statues who come alive on that magic evening...

Alternative Alices
Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking Glass (1871) are among the most enduring works in the English language. In the decades following their publication, writers on both sides of the Atlantic produced no fewer than two hundred imitations, revisions, and parodies of Carroll's fantasies for children. Carolyn Sigler has gathered the most interesting and original of these responses to the Alice books, many of them long out of print. Produced between 1869 and 1930, these works trace the extraordinarily creative, and often critical, response of diverse writers.
