I'm afraid this one isn't quite up to your usual standard yet; There's a lot of small errors:

"Topsyturveydom (sometimes spelled Topsyturveydom)" I suspect you didn't mean to have those the same?

"Topsyturveydom is set in a quasi-utopia, as in 1872's Happy Arcadia, where things are the opposite of the norm." - That ,makes it sound like Happy arcadia has things the opposite of the norm as well, when Happy Arcadia is quite something else. Also, I'm not sure I'd call Topseyturveydom a quasi-Utopia, it's more of a mirror image.

"Gilbert ... disappointed by its reception... put it out of his mind." - What was the reception?

Isn't the music lost? If it is, you should say so.


However, the plot summary is witty, amusing, and, as far as I recall, accurate Adam Cuerden talk 00:20, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
