Short Abstract
I will examine Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (1865), The Princess Bride by William Goldman (1973), and my own unpublished novel, The Sun Kingdom, will be used to compare different techniques and styles of world building. These works will be explored through the aspect of world building, focusing on the importance of geography, language, and traditions and culture that were created for their respective worlds, how these elements were created, and what effect this has on the story.
