I had not thought of Alice as a patron saint, Joan, but I shall from now on!<br />By the way, I just have to add that my favourite line from the whole oeuvre is the White King in Through the Looking-Glass saying, 'I feel faint--Give me a ham sandwich!'A Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00988158597150297353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-37701874347274928332015-03-29T23:51:05.959+01:002015-03-29T23:51:05.959+01:00Ah, so that's why there are all those editions...Ah, so that's why there are all those editions of Alice in the bookshops! Pity those Tenniel illustrations are still under copyright, since the artist is long gone. The colourised versions do look beautiful, though. <br /><br />I visited Oxford once when I was to meet a friend. Due to work commitments she didn't turn up, so I wandered through the streets to see what I could see. And I found that Alice gift shop, which was apparently the shop Tenniel drew for the Old Sheep shop in Through The Looking Glass. The English are so lucky to have these places simply sitting around and still in use!Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-63675702292630819582015-03-29T16:57:12.611+01:002015-03-29T16:57:12.611+01:00As a fellow Alice fanatic, I really enjoyed your p...As a fellow Alice fanatic, I really enjoyed your post.
