I worked on the really reaally bad musical Mike Batt did of this in the 90's.
Loved the character of the beaver.

One night, Kenny Everett, who was playing the snooker man or something, nearly walked off a bridge into 30 ft of nothingness when the set malfunctioned. The Beaver grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.
Kenny was saved by the beaver.
Anyway I like the poem but as a stage show it was a shocker

We used to listen to Alice in Wonderland on tape in the car when I was a kid. I can't remember who read it, but whoever it was was great and I love the story. I've never read the book itself, though. At some point I should.
Wasn't Dodgson's relationship with the real Alice a bit ... well, might be considered slightly over-friendly in this day and age?

There is a myth to that effect but there are counter indications if you check out some sources you can link to from Wikipedia.
Myth is probably the right word for it, actually. I've no idea if it's true or not, but it's something I've heard suggested on several occasions.
By who?

Gone for a Burton
I suspect he had a passing acquaintanceship with the shroom too, amongst other stuff...
Then it got down off the mushroom, and crawled away in the grass, merely remarking as it went, `One side will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you grow shorter.'
`One side of what? The other side of what?' thought Alice to herself.
`Of the mushroom,' said the Caterpillar, just as if she had asked it aloud; and in another moment it was out of sight.
Alice remained looking thoughtfully at the mushroom for a minute, trying to make out which were the two sides of it; and as it was perfectly round, she found this a very difficult question. However, at last she stretched her arms round it as far as they would go, and broke off a bit of the edge with each hand.
`And now which is which?' she said to herself, and nibbled a little of the right-hand bit to try the effect: the next moment she felt a violent blow underneath her chin: it had struck her foot!
She was a good deal frightened by this very sudden change, but she felt that there was no time to be lost, as she was shrinking rapidly; so she set to work at once to eat some of the other bit. Her chin was pressed so closely against her foot, that there was hardly room to open her mouth; but she did it at last, and managed to swallow a morsel of the lefthand bit.
`Come, my head's free at last!' said Alice in a tone of delight, which changed into alarm in another moment, when she found that her shoulders were nowhere to be found: all she could see, when she looked down, was an immense length of neck, which seemed to rise like a stalk out of a sea of green leaves that lay far below her.
Odd question. At least three biographies of Dodgson suggest as much, more or less explicitly, although others dispute it.
No not odd at all. As I said beyond random quotes I'm not familiar with his writing.
