[edit] Names of the Celtic tribes - "Cats" and "Mothers."

I just happened to read this article having been a fan of the book since watching the BBC dramatisation.

While I agree the "Cheshire Cat" allusion fits, and is a good pun, I wonder is Garner also referencing two actual Celtic tribal names from the region - the Catuvellauni and Brigantes?

Granted the Catuvellauni were based around Hertfordshire, so it might be stretching it.

The Brigantes were the tribe of the Mother Goddess Brigantia, so in common speech they might easily have been nick-named "the Mothers." Ne?

Just a thought.

[edit] the last two pages

the last two pages are written in code the code in which they are written is mentioned earlier in the book. i no longer obtain a copy of the book but shortly after i read it i learnt the code. to find it out search lewis carroll —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.178.164.118 (talk) 07:23, 11 December 2006 (UTC).
