Dedicated to the memory of Alice Shaw (2 June 1964 — 27 July 2016)
“Alice! A childish story take
And, with a gentle hand,
Lay it where Childhood’s dreams are twined
In Memory’s mystic band,
Like pilgrim’s withered wreath of flowers
Plucked in a far-off land.”
— Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
