This is very special set for us as we live in Cheshire. Cheshire was Lewis Carroll's home county. Cheshire cat - the most iconic character and his grin... was referenced many times in popular culture. There are few theories about the origins of Cheshire Cat:
Cheese moulds
It has been said that cheese was formerly sold in Cheshire moulded like a cat that looked as though it was grinning". The cheese was cut from the tail end, so that the last part eaten was the head of the smiling cat.
Dockyard cats
Another origin for the story concerns the cats that lived in the port of Chester. It was said that cats sitting on the dock would wait for the rats and mice to leave the ships transporting Cheshire cheese to London and were the happiest cats in the kingdom; hence their grins.
Church carvings
There are reports that Carroll found inspiration for the Cheshire Cat in a carving of a Church, Grappenhall, Warrington, Cheshire.
Now you know!..
It is very important to us to encourage reading and we think that we can. As we literally let the fantastic creatures out of the pages of the book. They even might move if you don't look... We're working to enrich our "Books / Fairy-tales" section.
