Omschrijving

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2015 COSTA BIOGRAPHY AWARD

This is the secret history of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Wonderland is part of our cultural heritage. But beneath the fairy tale lies the complex history of the author and his subject.



It is the ultimate book about Alice - comprehensive and scholarly, but so delightfully and elegantly written that it's a true work of literature

The Story of Alice is the best book on the myriad enigmas of Carroll’s heart-breaking wonderland I have ever read

Superb…toweringly the best of the dozens of books on Carroll which I have read

Douglas-Fairhurst is a startling and exciting writer

This is biography at its best
