Truth. 15 July, 1886.
Not only has Lewis Carroll given many themes to the parodists, but he has himself produced some amusing parodies, a short one on Dr. Watts, that on Southey’s, “You are old, Father William,” already quoted on page 156, Volume III. of Parodies, and “Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup” given on [page 35], all appear in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
That this book should have been translated into German, French, and Italian, tells of its well deserved popularity:—
And, though the shadow of a sigh
May tremble through the story,
For happy summer days gone by,
And vanish’d summer glory—
It shall not touch with breath of bale
The pleasance of that fairy-tale.
