Inside the life of Lewis Carroll, from birth to later years, told through his world and those who knew him. This scholarly biography by Stuart Dodgson Collingwood draws on letters, journals, and contemporary accounts to present a detailed, richly illustrated portrait of the author of Alice in Wonderland. It maps a life of creative work, family ties, and enduring friendships, framed by the man behind the pen and the many people who shaped his path.

The book situates Carroll’s story in a specific historical arc, from Daresbury through Oxford and beyond, and includes extensive material on his literary career, his role as a mentor and collaborator, and the cultural circles around him. Rich with excerpts, photographs, and drawings, it offers a careful, readable examination of how his thinking, humor, and artistry developed over a long life.

Character-driven narrative built from letters, journals, and contemporary notes

Chapter-by-chapter timeline covering key years and moments

Extensive illustrations and facsimiles that illuminate the era

Context on friendships, influences, and the creation of beloved works

Ideal for readers of literary biography, Victorian culture, and fans of Carroll’s timeless work.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

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.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating life of a man known to the world as Lewis Carroll, the beloved author of *Alice's Adventures in Wonderland* and *Through the Looking-Glass*. The author meticulously traces the development of Carroll's unique personality, from his early childhood spent in the peaceful countryside to his years at Rugby School and eventually his arrival at Christ Church, Oxford.
