Edward Wakeling

 I was sorry to hear that Edward Wakeling had died - his funeral was today.  He lived in Clifford, and was a renowned expert on Lewis Carroll and Alice in Wonderland.  

He was the chairman of the Lewis Carroll Society for many years, and also wrote books about Lewis Carroll and he had a comprehensive collection of Alice books.  When I worked for Judith Gardner at the Children's Bookshop, she always tried to keep a good selection of Alice books in stock, as Edward would come in regularly with guests from around the world.
