Synopsis: From the back cover of the Starmont House edition: "Who is there who doesn't know Alice, or the White Knight, or the White Rabbit? Lewis Carroll's landmark Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking Glass (1871) are credited with launching the golden age of children's literature and are firmly established as classics of children's literature. But these books are not just for children, as recent critics have discovered. Nor is the equally brilliant Hunting of the Snark (1876). Nor did Carroll confine his genius to literature: he was a notable photographer, and at the end of his life he was starting to make incisive contributions to the study of symbolic logic. In her study of Carroll, Beverly Lyon Clark sketches his life - addressing such issues as is interest in young girls - and discusses the Alice books, the Snark, Sylvie and Bruno (1889), Sylvie and Bruno Concluded (1893), Carroll's shorter fictions, his verse, his letters, his satiric pamphlets, his mathematical writing, his work on logic, and his photography."
