Lewis Carroll Society of North America

The Dutch Lewis Carroll Society (Genootschap) wrote a VERY in-depth review of our "Lewis Carroll and Alice on Stage: The Savile Clarke Letters" lewiscarroll.org/2026/03/14/lew…

“Full of wonder & novelty…The enormous width of the streets…the bewildering jabber of the natives all contributed to the wonders of our 1st walk in St Petersburg”-Lewis Carroll, born #OTD in 1832, saw Russia where he went in 1867 on his only trip abroad, as a sort of Wonderland

Happy un-un-birthday Lewis Carroll, born #onthisday in 1832. Pictured here: the frontispiece to The Rectory Umbrella, a magazine produced by Carroll and his 10 siblings, when he was around 17 years old. More in Jenny Woolf's essay here: publicdomainreview.org/essay/the-myst… #otd

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” 📚 | Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass

It's someone's special day! #10/6

At Eastbourne #OnThisDay 1892, Lewis Carroll recorded in his journal just four words: "Death of Alfred #Tennyson." It was a personal blow to him as well as a national event, as Ray Dyer explains: victorianweb.org/authors/carrol….
