During this tour, enjoy Lewis Carroll's advice about writing a good letter while holding one of his extraordinary letters in your hands. Find out why Eudora Welty said, "Place is one of the lesser angels that watch over the racing hand of fiction..." And explore Rudyard Kipling's clear understanding of the power of his words, in all of their richness and complexity.
