[edit] The Walrus & The Carpenter
Really? That's what you're going with as evidence for pedophelia? Pretty thin soup I'd say, given the reader identification character, Alice, states clearly that the two of them are unpleasant characters for what they did. You could also take it as a critique of powerful men taking advantage of their followers, which the political undertones of Tenniel's illustrations makes more credible. --24.212.154.38 (talk) 18:24, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Anglo-Saxon verse
Is there a citation for the 'Anglo-Saxon' verse thing? It was my impression that he never studied or read any Old English, and that those of his poems (eg Jabberwocky) which are supposed to resemble AS verse actually don't. Guyalsfere (talk) 13:55, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
