Description
Ahead of the 150th anniversary of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in 2015
A definitive new biography of Lewis Carroll drawing upon previously unpublished material, resolving key myths surrounding the beloved Victorian author.
Born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson in 1862, Lewis Carroll (the pen-name he adopted) remains a source of continuing fascination. We all know him as the bestselling author of the children’s classic, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, but he was also pioneering photographer, mathematician, businessman and writer of nonsense verse.
Drawing upon his personal database of nearly 6,000 letters, mostly never before published, Edward Wakeling fills the gaps left by earlier biographies and resolves some of the key myths that surround Lewis Carroll, such as his friendships with children and his drug-taking.
