LETTER: CARROLL'S BURROWS
Sir:
Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson) did not "grow up" in Yorkshire ("Alice's
adventure inside geology", 15 September) but here in Daresbury, Halton,
where he was born and lived for the first 11 years of his life. As for the
source of the rabbit holes, you need only visit my garden and our churchyard
to see where the true source of his inspiration lies. Cheshire rabbits must
have far better excavation skills than their Yorkshire friends and
relations.
The Reverend DAVID FELIX
Vicar of Daresbury
Cheshire
