---- Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, a jewel of children's
literature, was first published in 1865. In that same year translations
into numerous languages appeared. Ray Edwards' version in Common
Cornish, Alys y'n Vro a Varthusyon, was issued by the Cornish Language
Board in 1994. A passage from that translation is incorporated into the
present version (see pages 26-27). The rest of this book is in the
spelling known as Kernowek Standard, or Standard Cornish (KS), which
adheres as closely as possible to the traditional orthography of Cornish
but which is also completely phonetic. It will be noted that KS uses
diacritics to indicate phonetic differences in words spelt the same way,
or to distinguish the pronunciation of vowels which can have more than
one pronunciation. Since KS is without doubt the best orthography ever
developed for revived Cornish, it is used here and is recommended to all
learners and speakers of Cornish speakers. This book contains the famous
illustrations of Sir John Tenniel, which first appeared in the original
English edition.
