The life and letters of Lewis Carroll (Rev. C.L. Dodgson)

by Stuart Dodgson Collingwood, Lewis Carroll

Makes no attempt at analysis or criticism, but describes fully and simply his life and literary work, making large use of his letters. — A.L.A. Catalog 1904 “Interesting biography of the Oxford don who lectured on mathematics and created the immortal Alice. The author quotes many entertaining letters to and from children, of whom Lewis Carroll was very fond, and gives some interesting details about ‘Alice in Wonderland,’ ‘Through the looking-glass’ and ‘Sylvie and Bruno.’ Illustrated by sketches and remarkably fine photographs.” – Standard Catalog for Public Libraries : Biography Section (1927)
