Kate, this is Alice through the Looking Glass in Guildford
castle gardens. Charles Dodgson lived in Guildford. My IPad is playing up. I put on the photos & then it wouldn't let me put on the captions. It stuck! I didn't know if the photos had gone on or not. I had to wait until this evening to try again.

Thank you for the very interesting info, Josee. It’s really quite an interpretation isn’t it! I do love it! I know that you mean about iPads playing up!!!
I will now look up Charles Dodgson..thanks for posting.

That was the real name of Lewis Carol.
Apparently Queen Victoria was so delighted with his first Alice book she asked for a copy of the next book he wrote. It was duly sent to her but she was non plussed as it was a treatise on Mathematics!

It's an evocative work. Love it!

I didn't know about Queen Vic. Requesting his next Alice book & getting a book on Maths! I bet she was not amused. I wouldn't have been.

It’s a very emotive and ethereal looking statue, Josee. Is it anyone in particular, apologies for my ignorance.
