Cheshire Cat and Lions at Larnach Castle, Dunedin, New Zealand. I was delighted to renew my acquaintance with the Cheshire Cat. We’ve missed seeing it on numerous visits due to the failure to look UP !!
Introducing the Cheshire Cat …

Yes, it is. I’ll have to get Margaret Barker’s book from the library to find out what it was. I have a feeling it came from a ship but I’m not sure.
