I too think that it was highly unlikely that the gossip-mongering writers who accuse Dodgson of abuse of any kind ought to be disregarded. <br /><br />It's such a pity it has had to become part of the legend. People who write books for $$$$$$ will do what they can to sell them - and as we know sex sells. There'd not be a lot of profit writing wholesome books about a decent, law-abiding, ultra-creative writer. That had been done before anyway.<br /><br />Sad. I included it in my post, because if I hadn't someone would have added it in comment - and without the explanation I tried to give, and added to the besmirching of a good man.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-79088605056828792932010-09-20T01:32:12.375-05:002010-09-20T01:32:12.375-05:00I have seen a copy of the letter Alice Liddell wro...I have seen a copy of the letter Alice Liddell wrote to Charles asking him to put into written form the stories he told her and other children while visiting at their summer vacation home in Wales. Alice was the daughter of the Dean of Oxford University where Charles taught. I wouldn't think a woman who had been abused as a child would ask this, so all question of this should be erased from anyone's mind.<br /><br />Charles father was a Rev. of the church in Daresbury and it was not Catholic ..so he would never be a priest.<br /> <br />The penname was used, but Charles never answered to it. Seemingly proper for the day and his profession was the reason for the penname. .......Donna DodgsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-83894964714505128462010-03-19T10:24:51.184-05:002010-03-19T10:24:51.184-05:00Rossa ~~~ It just goes to show that when a writer ...Rossa ~~~ It just goes to show that when a writer does a good job his material can be used in many different ways, twisted and turned and updated and still come out well decades and maybe centuries later. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-55926988107644240272010-03-19T10:23:14.653-05:002010-03-19T10:23:14.653-05:00anyjazz ~~~ The dog was my favourite character too...anyjazz ~~~ The dog was my favourite character too....or he tied for favourite with the flea-bitten Bandersnatch. ;-DTwilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-20229908389192560362010-03-19T10:14:40.329-05:002010-03-19T10:14:40.329-05:00Glad you liked the film, we did too.

It is amazing how a tale written so long ago can still be a showstopper today letting modern kids who are used to all the CGI effects enjoy an English classic.<br /><br />Aquarians are often described as a bit whacky. In this case I'd say it was a case of if the cap fits....wear it!Rossahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121831076599069841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-85333011216822414562010-03-19T09:24:27.324-05:002010-03-19T09:24:27.324-05:00My favorite quote from the movie was "Dogs wi...My favorite quote from the movie was "Dogs will believe anything you tell them."anyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.com
