The life of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson by his nephew: Oxford, mathematics, the deanery children, the boat on the Isis, the photography, and the double life of a shy don who wrote the most famous nonsense in English. Collingwood had the family papers and published in 1898, within months of his uncle's death. He is discreet where a modern biographer would not be, and the letters he prints do most of the work. Its 67 original illustrations have been carefully restored and coloured for this edition.
