Caterpillar

I've been away doing a lot of travelling to various places. One of them was Walt Disney World, in Florida, where the Electrical Parade in Magic Kingdom had a specially impressive Caterpillar on his mushroom, I thought...

And you can spot Alice here.... sorry it's a bit blurry but hey, it was dark!



I've also been contacted during my absence by Julian Yanover, who has put a really useful archive of Carroll's poems online, here. It's surprisingly hard to find all of these together online, and so the page should be a useful resource for Carrollians.

Finally, I saw a wonderful edition of Alice in Wonderland in Dutch. It came out last year, to celebrate Alice 150, but I didn't get around to mentioning it at the time.



It's visually really beautiful, created in an Arts and Crafts style by artist Floor Rieder. So far I haven't seen an English version, but here's a photo of the cover and one of the interior pages.



In Dutch the title is "De avonturen van Alice in Wonderland en in Spiegelland." If you're a collector, you may well want to look it out, as it is an exceptionally interesting volume.
