The Life and Letters of Lewis Carroll

An excellent collection of letters and biographical information of Lewis Carroll, including his achievements in children's literature, mathematics, logic, and his relationships. This biography was written, at the invitation of Lewis Carroll's brothers and sisters, by his relative Stuart Dodgson Collingwood. There are over seventy illustrations, mostly photos taken by Lewis Carroll and also illustrations by him. Photos included are of Alice Liddell, the little girl who he befriended and based his story Alice in Wonderland on.

Published in 1898, just months after the death of Charles Dodgson (1832-98), better known as Lewis Carroll, this biography investigates the imaginative genius of the writer, mathematician and photographer. The author, Carroll's nephew, draws upon his access to Carroll's private papers, diaries and photographs.
