Gertrude Chataway Life story


Gertrude Chataway was the most important child-friend in the life of the author Lewis Carroll, after Alice Liddell. It was Gertrude who inspired his great nonsense mock-epic The Hunting of the Snark, and the book is dedicated to her, and opens with a poem that uses her name as a double acrostic.
