Given when it all happened, and the way such things were dealt with (or not) in those days, I think asking for legal proof is a bit unrealistic. Family and friends of Dodgson have, quite understandably, never been explicit about what they know as far as I am aware, but neither have there ever been any strenuous denials from them. I'm not sure about this one myself. I suppose in fact I do believe that Dodgson's personal interest in "Alice" was inappropriate, but I don't think anyone has ever suggested that he acted on it inappropriately or accused him of anything indecent, whatever his feelings were. I think I have always "known" this, and it hasn't coloured my views on his books. I read them as a child, and I would now happily read them to other children. I'm just wondering now if that is as it should be. I hope it is.

I'm going to read up aa bit more on this when I get a chance, you've aroused my interest (actually that may be an unfortunate phrase to use in this instance).

You could have just said 'sparked my interest'.

Let me know what you find out Topher, I'd be interested too.
