Synopsis

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.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Lewis Carroll to write this Memoir. I am well aware that the path of the biographer is beset with pitfalls, and that, for him, suppressio veri is almost necessarily siiggestio falsi the least omission may distort the whole picture. To write the life of Lewis Carroll as it should be written would tax the powers of a man of far greater experience and insight than I have any pretension to possess, and even he would probably fail to represent adequately such a complex personality. At least I have done my best to justify their choice, and if in any way I have wronged my uncles memory, unintentionally, I trust that my readers will pardon me.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
