Review
'This is a splendid book - fully informative and balanced about Dodgson's life and (Alice-related) preoccupations, and marvellously detailed. It is a really important addition to the literature of Lewis Carroll and Oxford.' --Philip Pullman
'This thoroughly enjoyable book reveals, for the first time, the importance of Oxford's waterways as a background to the stories.' Mark Richards --Chairman, The Lewis Carroll Society
