This book is about the intimate and complex life of Dodgson. Cohen analyzes Dodgson's personality, ideas and work by means of previously unavailable family and personal documents, diaries and letters.
The book contains more than 100 of Carroll's black and white photographs and drawings and deals with a.o. Dodgson's attitude towards children, the Alice books, Dodgson's friendships with little girls, his professional triumphs, his social personality, and many more aspects of his life.
Under the pen name Lewis Carroll, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson became a legend for his children’s books, which broke the constraints of Victorian moralism. Thirty years in the writing and drawn from a voluminous fund of letters and diaries, this exemplary biography conveys both the imaginative fancy and human complexity of the creator of Alice in Wonderland.
