It's 150 years ago now since LC started his trips down or up the Thames from Oxford. The first trip was, I believe, on June 3rd 1856 when he took Harry Liddell...
A 30 quid book Lewis Carroll & his Illustrators published 3 years ago and reduced to 3.99! A great saving. Its 350 pages and is edited by Cohen/Wakeling...
Richard, it doesn't sell well even at that price! Perhaps it is too verbose - too few few illustrations and too much text? Other things that don't sell are the...
Aye but you're supposed to be there as the last one left to put out the light! If it's LC you are reading then you must find something you don't agree with you...
Aye, Keith, but my style of moderation is not to judge what is twaddle and what isn't. ;0) Especially when I can rely on so very many others who will. I learn...

That's easy to define - twaddle is the stuff that isn't supported by the facts. i.e. Jack the Ripper theories etc. Opinions dressed up as fact also count! ...

Taking up the point re the Liddells once again. It has been pointed out that I didn't make it clear that the boat trips I was referring to in my last message...
Keith - you could try reading my Whitestone' article to see the significance of milestones and white stones! R U online? Have had a humoungous computer crash...
Kate, as you and I did a bit together on that paper, although I claim my part was miniscule, I think I know it already! It's not the significance of white...

I don't see why you should think that. A chap writes in a diary that he has reached a milestone in his life and prays to God for help in setting a new...

Nothing. But there is something called faith. Unless, of course you believe that you have got a negative fate, or is it that you may be simply rushing things,...

I am not a great one for faith - it tends to have people believing things which subsequently prove to be wrong. CLD had, or at least professed to have, faith...

I make no claims to eccentricity! As to the world cup, we have teams that are experts at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory so it's 50/50 as to the...

Hello dear carrolians, I was wondering what is CLD's link to the number 42, which is found in various pieces he has published, such as 'the hunting of the ...
There is no doubt that 42 was in some way a 'favoured' number with Lewis Carroll. Various Carrollians have made suggestions as to why but none have been...
42 is also Fox Mulder's apartment number. He went down a few rabbit-holes himself... I'll leave the rest as an exercise for the class. There is no doubt that...
