cybermuleBibgoth read. I didn't like it when I was young, mostly because I was a Roald Dahl kid, so this seemed unbearably twee. Liked it a bit better now - there's some dry humour and puns in there that I didn't really appreciate when I was young - but I still don't really like it. I think there's some mileage in the idea that it's probably a written formalisation of nursery tales that Lewis Carrol told whichever little girl it was. It has that feel about it. One thing I'll say for it is that it has indeed inspired its own awesome mythology, so there must be something there.
