Description
Mathematician and cleric Charles Lutwidge Dodgson published children’s books under the pen name Lewis Carroll. This tour will explore both the man and the author, drawing on letters from Dodgson to his publishers, original drawings by John Tenniel (the illustrator of the Alice books), photographs of children taken by Carroll, and of course, copies of his books. Join us for this unique opportunity to explore one of the world’s most extensive collections of materials documenting Carroll’s life and work.
