I am informally part of a network of friends which includes the fabulous Alice film researchers Phantomwise and Curiouser Archive, as well as Curiouslyalice, VictoriaWesthill, and Carrollianmemes :)
I informally support research by Jenny Woolf, Karoline Leach, Edward Wakeling, Franziska Kholt, Hugues Laibally, Will Brooker, and the Contrariwise association for New Carroll studies. These biographers, researchers and organisations have done or do vital new research into Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), his life and the time he lived in.

When did your obsession with the Alice Novels start?
My obsession with all things Alice related started at age seven after my Dad gave me a copy of the first book. I was for a long while a part of the UK Lewis Carroll Society and started this blog to keep in contact and make friends with other carrollians. Carroll’s books entered my life at a particularly difficult moment in my life and kept me going through a very hard time.
