Contrary to the claims of many previous authors, Carroll's circle was not child centered: his correspondence was enormous, numbering almost 100,000 items at the time of his death, and included royalty and many of the leading artists, illustrators, publishers, academics, musicians and composers of the Victorian era. Edward Wakeling draws upon his personal database of nearly 6,000 letters, mostly never before published, to fill the gaps left by earlier biographies and resolve some of the key myths that surround Lewis Carroll, such as his friendships with children and his drug-taking. Essential reading for scholars and admirers of one of the key authors of the Victorian age. --Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Carroll, Lewis, $d 1832-1898. 600 10 $a Carroll, Lewis, $d 1832-1898 $x Friends and associates. 650 0 $a Novelists, English $y 19th century $v Biography. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826114056.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6FD01E326B5811E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
