Carroll loved going to the theatre. This book takes a closer look at his fondness of the Victorian theatre.
"Because this is a very new image of a very famous man (Lewis Carroll), I hope it doesn't offend those who thought they 'knew' their childhood friend already.
Maybe the idea that the author of "Alice" wasn't after all some lonely or dangerous paedophile, but a normal, if less than perfect, man who may have had the misfortune to love the wrong woman, is at least a little closer to the truth and might allow those who presently enjoy his stories to feel they enjoy them even more." (K. Leach)
In this book, Karoline Leach claims that Carroll's love of his life wasn't Alice Liddell, but someone else.

This collection of letters that Lewis Carroll wrote to (prospective) illustrators of his books, provides insights into Carrolls complex character, traces the history of his books, and charts the relationships Carroll had with his correspondents.
Each group of letters is preceded by an introduction that includes a brief biography of the artist, and a summary of his or her collaboration with Carroll.
Many of the letters include Carrolls own sketches, which were meant as aids to his illustrators. Also included are comparisons of these sketches with the artists final drawings.
