Taking his title from a comment made to Alice by the Looking-Glass Gnat, Brian Sibley explores the comic universe of Carrollian cartoons, chronicling their history from Dodgson’s original illustrations for Alice’s Adventures Under Ground via those for Wonderland and Looking-Glass by legendary cartoonist and political satirist, Sir John Tenniel, through to the work of his modern-day counterparts.

when Gyles Brandreth will unveil a decorative plaque, marking the place where, on 4 July 1862, The Revd Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), The Revd Robinson Duckworth, and the three Liddell sisters set off on a boating trip that would change literary history. For, as you all know, it was on this outing that the first version of Alice’s Adventures Underground (later entitled Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland) was told to the children.
After more than a decade of researching and writing his new book Lewis Carroll: Formed by Faith, Charlie Lovett shares his thoughts about scholarship and research. Using examples from the book, a biography of Charles Dodgson that examines in depth his religious upbringing and beliefs and the ways in which they shaped his work, Charlie will focus on the place of context, research, and vision in contemporary Carrollian scholarship.
Charlie Lovett is a New York Times bestselling novelist and playwright,
whose plays for children have been seen in over 5000 productions worldwide.
