Tweedledum and Tweedledee Add to Shortlist

Two fat little men named Tweedledum and Tweedledee are hilarious characters best known from Lewis Carroll's 'Through the Looking-Glass and what Alice Found There'. A busy, bickering duo who complement each other's words and finish eachother's sentences, they are sure to provide your guests with many laughs.

Tweedledum and Tweedledee are said to be three-dimensional mirror images of eachother and spend their time wanting to play. They suggest numerous activities and can involve guests in a game of croquet or bocce - amusing those around them with their contant commentary.

It has been said that the words 'Tweedledum and Tweedledee' make their first appearance in print in "one of the most celebrated and most frequently quoted epigrams", written by John Byrom. It reads as follows:

Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Agreed to have a battle;
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
Had spoiled his nice new rattle.

Just then flew down a monstrous crow,
As black as a tar-barrel;
which frightened both the heroes so,
They quite forgot their quarrel
