Tottles
Tottles was a character in a poem from Lewis Carroll's novel Sylvie and Bruno Concluded (1893), the second volume following on from Sylvie and Bruno (1889).[2] The poem What Tottles Meant is recited in Chapter 13.[3] The poem recounts how the newlywed Mr. Tottles is impoverished by trying to keep up with his mother-in-law's expectations. His name echoes the Victorian slang tottle, a facetious mispronunciation of total, meaning a bill from a restaurant or tradesman.
Tottles the Bear, with a name derived from the Lewis Carroll character, is a fictional bear who features in children's stories.[4] He was originated by Humphry Bowen.[5] He has a girlfriend called Tutu[5] and a best friend called Tuttles.[6]
A book by Gina Hughes entitled Tommy Tottlebears Days Before Christmas was published in 2000.[7]
