Hmmm. You know, I think that now-a-days we call people who keep picture collections of young girls "pedophiles". He probably had some pretty unique pickup lines for the kids, too. Like "come here, there's a jabbowock behind you!"

HAHAHA nice. and yeah that is jusssst a little creepy mrs. moon but you know, i used to think "Lewis Carroll" was just a great writer and not on drugs or a creeper but dang; I might have just changed my mind. I honestly don't know how to feel but indifferent towards him and his pseudonymn him...??? What do you think?

Well, maybe he was a little odd...but there was no proof of any wrong doing. I think that the book would be interesting to read--the actual Alice's account!

Trust me, I'm not defending Carroll or wanting you all to love him--I just thought that this article was fascinating! I just stumbled upon it while browsing NPR--how wonderful that we read Jabberwocky today!

Everytime I say the word Jabberwocky, I think of Chewbacca. And pedophiles....
