From the Afterword by Gary Gygax:
This module is not, by any stretch of the imagination, aimed at the player or
DM who takes himself (and the game) too seriously. This is not to say that
the scenario isn't exciting, that it will not challenge characters to their
utmost, or that it cannot prove lethal, but that the module is meant to be a
change of pace and that it is fun. It is presented in a light–hearted and
zany spirit. In order to get in all the necessary details, however, not too
much space can be devoted to really capturing the true spirit of Dungeonland.
Therefore, the Gentle Reader is urged to read Lewis Carroll’s story, Alice in
Wonderland. Read this book carefully. You might even find you enjoy
sections sufficiently to reread them. Do this just before you begin having
your players adventure in Dungeonland, and then really let yourself go!

A similar scenario was an early part of Castle Greyhawk. The adventurers
came upon it quite by accident after about a year of play. They were ready
for it: not only did they thoroughly enjoy the change of mood, but they were
very much tested by the encounters in the place. (l DMed this strictly and
in a very tough manner.) They came back time and again for more adventures,
going from Dungeonland to The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror and back again
quite a number of times. Eventually the original players–Ernie Gygax, Rob
Kuntz, Terry Kuntz, Don Kaye, Mike Mornard, Don Arndt, Chip Mornard, Skip
Williams, Brian Blume, and quite a few others–began to slip away to other
campaigns and other pursuits (I was running the campaign only sporadically
then, for business demanded most of my time). Nonetheless, Dungeonland has
not been idle since that time many years ago. It has welcomed many new
players in the campaign, hosted groups at conventions, and even had the
celebrated Dr. Joyce Brothers adventuring across its strange landscape. Will
Niebling and Russ Stambaugh have given its inhabitants a rough time, but they
finally had to “fall back” so as to be able to return on another occasion...
I had always hoped to have Don Turnbull adventure herein, for I knew that he
too had built a “dungeon” around the same subject. Alas, the opportunity
never eventuated, and now the scenario is published. So much for that
idea... but have I got an island for him–and you!
