' When I used to read fairy-tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, & now here I am in the middle of one! There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought! & when I grow up, I'll write one--but I'm grown up now, ' she added in a sorrowful tone; `at least there's no room to grow up any more HERE.' I always think of Alice when I go to Oxford sometimes take a short cut through a little grave yard which reminded me of the graveyard where the character from the original Mad Hatter is buried. The Mad Hatter was based on a real person who lived in Oxford around the 1880's when Lewis Carroll lived & taught in Christchurch College. He worked in a shop in the High Street in Oxford where he sold fine furniture. I had the good fortune of working in the same High Street when I first came to Oxford 12 years ago. I love Oxford it is a really magical place full of the most fascinating characters. My love of Oxford inspired my original collection of Alice in Wonderland trinkets. The silver plated on brass locket charm has a vintage picture of the Giant Alice inside & it measures about 22mm x 18mm. The silver plated bracelet measures 8 inches & will arrive beautifully gift wrapped ready for giving or simply keeping :)
