Alice in Sunderland: An Entertainment is a 2007 graphic novel by comics writer and artist Bryan Talbot.
It explores the links between Lewis Carroll and the Sunderland area, with wider themes of history, myth and storytelling.
It was described in a review by Michel Faber as a "gloriously ambitious mix of myth, history and autobiography",[1] and by Rachel Cooke as "one the most exhilarating books (she had) read in years" and "a minor masterpiece".
Local legends and tales are documented, including the Lambton Worm and the monkey hanged in Hartlepool.
