The Alice behind Wonderland by Simon Winchester

On a summer's day in 1858 Charles Dodgson photographed six year old Alice Liddell, the daughter of the college dean.
Simon Winchester deftly uses the resulting image as the vehicle for a brief excursion behind the lens, a focal point on the origins of a classic work of English literature. Dodgson's love of photography framed his view of the world and was partly responsible for transforming a shy and half-deaf mathematician into one of the world's best loved observers of childhood. Using Dodgson's published writings, private diaries and of course his photographic portraits, Winchester gently exposes the development of Lewis Carroll and the making of his Alice.

What a beautiful little book. Well written. I loved the emphasis on Lewis Carrol and his life, so informative.
This is a lovely book to read. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
