Something About References to Lewis Carroll

Dream is a life.

I found a list of Lewis Carroll references from the Bellairs Corpus in the archives. I thought I’d share to at least stir some conversation:

• The House with a Clock in its Walls (1973)
• Lewis was dreaming that he was being chased by the Queen of Spades. I don't know if being chased by one figure on a card is worse than another, but Alice had a few run-ins with the Queen of Hearts (p. 19).
• The Mummy, the Will, and the Crypt (1983)
• When the professor sees Johnny is still trying to figure out the riddle of the missing Glomus will, he tells him it’s impossible to solve and makes a reference to the unsolvable riddle of the Mad Hatter: “Why is a raven like a writing desk?” (p. 12)
• The Mansion in the Mist (1992)
• The word wabe is etched on the Brasher Dubloon as well as being the name of ex-Autarch Nathaniel Wabe, and it’s meaning, the patch of ground surrounding a sundial, plays an important part in the story’s development. This comes from Caroll’s “Jabberwocky” poem in Through the Looking Glass.
• The character Nathaniel Wabe is said to love carrots. Why carrots? Could this be some sort of subtle reference to a rabbit, as there are a couple of rather famous rabbits in Alice’s Adventure’s in Wonderland?
• The inscription on the sundial in the garden of the Autarch’s mansion reads: “Life is a dream.” Could this be an affirmation of, or an answer to, the final line of the poem ending Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass: “Life, what is it but a dream?” (p. 153)
• Toward the end of Mansion the characters have to travel through (or with the aid of) a mirror to get back to the real world. A possible reference to Alice’s passing through a mirror in Through the Looking Glass?
• The use of playing cards, such as 3, 7, 9, and ace of spades. We know playing cards play a part in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
• The Wrath of the Grinning Ghost (1999)
• Professor Childermass says "'Mysteriouser and mysteriouser, as old Lewis Carroll might have put it.' (p. 47)." Alice cries “curiouser and curiouser!” in the opening of chapter II of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
• The Tower at the End of the World (2001)
• Mrs. Zimmermann notes “Curiouser and curiouser, as Lewis Carroll wrote” upon seeing the tower on Gnomon Island.

Anything else to add?
