I received some nice photographs of my talk during Alice's Day in Oxford from Roby G. and Alice Chapman! It was a great pleasure to speak about my book Alice's Adventures under Water, the curious creatures and fabulous monsters in it, and its parallels with Lewis Carroll's original 'Alice' books to all these interested people!

I felt honoured that so many people bought a copy of my book afterwards and wanted me to sign it, even though mine was only one of the three 'curious creatures & fabulous monsters' talks (the others were interesting lectures about the dodo from Oxford Museum of Natural History's Mark Carnall and about Jabberwocky by chairman of the Lewis Carroll Society Brian Sibley). And it was amazing to see my book lying on the shelves in stores, surrounded by other Alice in Wonderland items! 😍🙏

I had a great time and hope to be able to visit Oxford again some time soon. A big thank you to Mark Davies for inviting me and for all his support in making this happen! ❤️

Last weekend I once again joined the instrument try-out workshop team of @stichtingdraailierdoedelzak during @castlefest as one of the bagpipe teachers. It was great fun to introduce the visitors to this amazing instrument and help them play it for the very first time! 🤩

Only two more weeks and then I'll be in Oxford to give a talk during Alice's Day!

Will you join the celebrations? On Saturday July 6, Oxford centre will be completely Alice in Wonderland themed and there will be many activities for both children and adults.

The adult activities include a set of talks, organised by the Lewis Carroll Society and the Bodleian Library. Swipe for the Society's programme, which includes my talk about my book "Alice's Adventures under Water' and the 'fabulous monsters and curious creatures' (the theme of this year's Alice Day) in it!

The full day's programme can be found on storymuseum.org.uk/about-us/alices-day-1

Woohoo, after 4 years of hard work I passed my final exam and may now officially call myself 'costumière'! 😁🥳🎓🧵🪡👗

I have no idea how to translate that title into English, but it involves learning basic dressmaking and pattern drawing skills, and is one step before becoming 'coupeuse', which is a professional dressmaker. That title is what I'll be pursuing in the years to come.

But first: a well-earned summer break! ☺️🌞

To all of you who bought my book but still have it

To all of you who bought my book but still have it lying unread on their bedside tables (I know how it goes), here's a good reason to finally start reading it!

The Dutch Lewis Carroll society has started a book club and during their next (online) meeting on June 7, 19.30-21.00 CET, they will be discussing "Alice's Adventures under Water"! I will be present as a 'special guest' to answer all your questions.

So take advantage of your spring holidays and relax by reading, and sign up for this book club session by sending an email to aliceleesclub@gmail.com, after which you will receive a Teams-link to join the meeting!

We just released a new videoclip with my band @androneda_balfolk_music ! It is a balfolk dance, called an andro. We named the song after our band (as it has the word 'andro' in it), so it is now our theme song. 😄
What do you think of it? 😊

Every July, "Alice's Day" is held in Oxford - a city-wide celebration of all things Alice in Wonderland. The British Lewis Carroll Society always organises a set of talks during this festive day, and I have been invited to do one of them! 🤩🙏

Alice's Day will be held on the 6th of July and the theme will be 'Fabulous Monsters and Curious Creatures'. So I will be speaking about new fabulous monsters and curious creatures in my book Alice's Adventures under Water! You'll hear about their parallels to original characters from Wonderland & Looking-Glass world, their references to pop culture, and the challenges in creating them.

I am super stoked to have been given this opportunity and am very much looking forward to celebrating this day with many fellow 'Alice' fans! Will you be joining us? 😊

I am very proud and honoured to have been the initiator of and a contributor to this new publication: "Alice in a World of Wonderlands: The English Language Editions of the Four Alice Books Published Worldwide"! 🤩📖

This two volume book set is a companion to the three volume set published in 2015: "Alice in a World of Wonderlands: The Translations of Lewis Carroll's Masterpiece". That publication listed all translations of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass" worldwide, for which I provided input about the Dutch translations. This new publication attempts to list all English language editions of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", "Through the Looking-Glass", "Alice's Adventures under Ground" and "Nursery 'Alice'" worldwide!
A tremendous undertaking, that took me and several other respected Carroll scholars 7 years to complete.

The second volume contains the actual bibliography, and the first contains essays about amongst others the publication background of the books, and the history of the illustrations.

The books are available as limited deluxe hardcover edition through the publisher (jared@atbosh.com), as paperback edition through Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and as eBook through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, Google Books, and Smashwords.

I hope this work will provide a valuable reference source for Lewis Carroll scholars and literary studies!

I almost forgot to post my new 1840's dress here! I finished it just in time for a performance with my band at a Dickens themed Christmas market last month.

The last photo shows the complete outfit, with the jacket and bonnet I made last year.

(Please ignore my unstyled hair - it's too short to do anything Victorianesk with it, and I was going to hide it under the bonnet anyway. 😉)

Last weekend I taught a bagpipe class during the workshopday of @stichtingdraailierdoedelzak ! It was so much fun to do and the participants were very motivated and attentive. At the end of the day we gave a little demonstration of what we practiced to the other groups.

When you are going to assist participants of your favorite fantasy festival with trying out a bagpipe for the first time, you need an appropriate outfit. So I sewed myself this combo of a skirt, dress, and bolero jacket out of a piece of lovely red linnen I had in my fabric stash, from a pattern I drafted myself!
