The Lewis Carroll Society of the Nethertlands is a thing and I stupidly forgot...


No photo description available.


Lewis Carroll Society Netherlands has been active since 2016 and has an apparently excellent journal dodo/Nododo which publishes not only essays, but Carroll style pieces of fiction and puzzles 
too! 

Their content is normally in both Dutch and English.

Here's a few links:

Everything's going bad in this world - Daisies, 1966
It's so sad... Poor us - Poor Cherries, 2019

I found a curious short, called Poor Cherries (2019) from this year online made by a professional short filmmaker which is heavily inspired by Daisies (1966) 

Specifically the short channels the first scene and pointless dialogues of Daisies (1966)

Relevant here as Daisies played the 2011 US film festival Alice and Other Lost Girls in Fantastic Worlds, and has featured on this blog as part of Down the rabbit hole project (in 2016) 

The short Poor Cherries (2019) will go on my Recommended for fans of Carroll list under the new section "short films", so anyone interested can come back to it long after this post has disappeared! 


Utterly beautiful illustration of Alice, the Cheshire cat and the pig baby by Seph Tam for Alice's adventures in Wonderland.

This goes straight into the favourite illustrations tag. Wow! 


Alice awakens from her dream of Wonderland by Carol Tarrant for Alice's adventures in Wonderland.

There's a massive heatwave currently where I am, and somehow this illustration just seemed appropriate for today!
