‘Will you,Won’t You’

From ‘CLD – The Real Lewis Carroll’

Lyrics Lewis Carroll Music Michael Brand and Jane Bramwell

Lewis Carroll wrote many musical verses in his ‘Alice’ books. Some were parodies on well
f
known songs of the day. Alice meets the Mock Turtle in Wonderland and here he describes
the Quadrille danced by various sea creatures, including lobsters, whitings, snails and
turtles.

This setting comes from the musical ‘CLD – The Real Lewis Carroll’ - CLD being Charles
Lutwidge Dodgson – who published under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. The show received
4 star reviews for its Oxford production, and uses the Alice books and characters to tell the

tragic story and consequences of Dodgson’ s love for Lorina Liddell, wife of the Dean of
Christ Church College, who was Alice’s mother in real life.
