Alice in Wonderland Book from Star Trek Discovery

Zhilikam t'°Ahlihs svi'Shi'Molpaya°


The works of Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), specifically Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871), have been enjoyed for centuries by young beings throughout the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. Few works of literature have remained in publication so long or had dozens of productions on stage, film and television. The Vulcans find the language in the books difficult to understand, although they enjoy the fantasy aspects of the story in general.

Below you will find terminology and characters that you might find associated with Alice in Wonderland in film and print. At the time it was written, many compound nouns were hyphenated and we have left them as Carroll wrote them, although they are not spelled that way in normal FSE. (Names are listed in pure alphabetical order by title, first name then last name, since names are sorted using the Vulcan standard.)
