By little arms are plied, And ever, as the story drained While little hands make vain pretence The wells of fancy dry, Our wanderings to guide. And faintly strove that weary one Ah, cruel Three! In such an hour, To put the subject by, Beneath such dreamy weather, “The rest next time –” “It is next time!” To beg a tale of breath too weak The happy voices cry. To stir the tiniest feather! Thus grew the tale of Wonderland: Yet what can one poor voice avail Thus slowly, one by one, Against three tongues together? Its quaint events were hammered out – Imperious Prima flashes forth And now the tale is done, Her edict ‘to begin it’ – And home we steer, a merry crew, In gentler tone Secunda hopes Beneath the setting sun.

    E4NTASW FICTION HELD Founded by Julius Unger Volume 1 ... BI-WEEKLY ... Number 12 June 18, 1963 The National Fantasy Review Whole Number 12 PALMER, SHAVER in Pornography Probe The Milwaukee area recently had itself a real l'who-done-it’* mystery. In the confusion the finger of suspicion was pointed at former AMAZING STORIES editor Raymond A. Palmer and ''Shaver Mystery" author Richard S, Shaver. Seems the whole thing developed as a result of Cleveland * Amory's article in SATURDAY EVENING POST on the subject of pornography, _ wherein Freedom Publishing Company was cited as "the worst of the worst" among the paperback companies peddling alleged pornography. Amory listed the publisher’s address as Milwaukee, which put the Milwau­ kee County District Attorney in the position of having to do some inves­ tigating. THE MILWAUKEE JOURNAL, who gave the story several days of feature coverage, said the DA received a complaint about the books from a New York Roman Catholic priest. As the mystery unfolded, it was discovered that the address the company listed was actually that of a Milwaukee attorney who said he did some legal work for them and used his office as an address for service of papers, as the law requires an address for that purpose for corpora­ tions. He said he had earlier resigned, and another lawyer had taken over his functions. This attorney said all he did was handle financial statements and foreward mail to the man he said was the-firm's presi­ dent, Richard Shaver, who lives in Lanark, near Amherst, Wisconsin.

Lewis Carroll was the nom de plume of Charles L. Dodgson. Born on January 27, 1832 in Daresbury, Cheshire, England, Charles Dodgson wrote and created games as a child. At age 20 he received a studentship at Christ Church and was appointed a lecturer in mathematics. Dodgson was shy but enjoyed creating stories for children. Within the academic discipline of mathematics, Dodgson worked primarily in the fields of geometry, linear and matrix algebra, mathematical logic, and recreational mathematics, producing nearly a dozen books under his real name. Dodgson also developed new ideas in linear algebra (e.g., the first printed proof of the Kronecker-Capelli theorem,) probability, and the study of elections (e.g., Dodgson's method); some of this work was not published until well after his death.
