He thought he saw an Elephant, That practised on a fife: He looked again, and found it was A letter from his wife. 'At length I realise,' he said, 'The...
What I say is "long live Lewis Carroll". I much prefer the original; it is the absurdity of the images that gives the poem its humour and character. The poem...
Hi Michael, I am not sure if you read knave's post right through, he quotes Carroll's poem in full from Sylvie and Bruno at the start, then after suggested...
Hi Deb, I certainly agree with you that Carroll's original is preferable to the reworked version, although in knave's defence perhaps he was deliberately ...

Hi All, This is my first post here and I hope it works. I am a Lewis Carroll fan, but I'm certainly no expert. So I've come here to ask the experts a...
In AAIW, Ch 9, the Duchess says "Just about as much right as pigs have to fly" In the Annotation, Martin Gardner quotes an old Scottish proverb "Pigs may...
Not so sure about your other example of adynaton - the camel and the eye of a needle. I remember being told by my divinity teacher, nearly five decades ago,...
Presumably Carroll was also referring to the saying in The Walrus and the Carpenter when he talked about "why the sea is boiling hot - and whether pigs have...
Apparently there used to also be a saying "as likely as a black swan"...however I imagine that this fell into disuse sometime after the settlement of New South...
Turns out, it was not a Fish-Footman at all. It was a Fish-Founding Father (of the U.S.) from a magazine advert for frozen fish. Sorry to have bothered and...

Hi Keith (and everyone). Personally I'm delighted to hear the party went well, but can you tell me what the justification is for having an Alice party in...
Hi, you are quite right in saying that Lewis Carroll never went to Llandudno in the time that he knew Alice. However, Alice Liddell and the other Liddells...
Hi Keith. Thanks for your reply - though I didn't actually say Dodgson never went to Llandudno, just that most people seem to think he didn't! Personally I...
Justin, he certainly never recorded in his diary that he ever went to Llandudno. In fact Llandundo is only mentioned once in the diaries on June 30th 1863 when...
