As it's Lewis Carroll day, we wanted to share something very special with you... You've probably already heard about Alice in Wonderland, but did you know about one of Lewis Carroll's (or Charles Lutwidge Dodgson which was his real name!) other works; The Game of Logic?

Happy World Logic Day!

Have you ever spotted Logic Lane in Oxford?
The name of the street was originally Horsemull Lane, after a horse-mill, but it's said that this changed somewhere around the 17th c., when it started to be called Logic Lane, after a school of logicians at one end.
