People have previously speculated on hypothetical meetings between Lewis Carroll and Charles Dickens but it now seems that in fact they are likely to have met.

It has recently been found that among thousands of articles, short stories and poems, printed anonymously in a literary magazine edited by Charles Dickens, that there was work included by Lewis Carroll.

The question that comes to my mind is, did Lewis Carroll ever meet Clarkson Stanfield?

Charles Dickens and Clarkson Stanfield were very good friends, Stanfield made illustrations for a number of books by Charles Dickens and the first edition of "Little Dorrit" includes a dedication to Stanfield.

There is also a book titled, "The story of a great friendship: Charles Dickens and Clarkson Stanfield."

With Lewis Carroll's links to Sunderland and Clarkson Stanfield having been born in Sunderland it is an hypothetical meeting that might have also taken place.
