The walrus was Paul

From the world of Beatles memorabilia, another clue for you all:

A John Lennon schoolbook containing an illustration of a walrus has been sold at auction for £126,500.

Featuring the 12-year-old Lennon's drawing of Lewis Carroll's poem The Walrus and the Carpenter, the book had been expected to reach up to £150,000.

The poem inspired Lennon to write The Beatles' 1967 song I Am the Walrus.

The book of the late Beatle's early thoughts, drawings and poems, was sold to a private collector in an auction of pop memorabilia in London.

Very cool.
