About the Author:
MORTON N. COHEN is Professor Emeritus of English at the City University of New York. He has spent twenty years researching the letters of Lewis Carroll and was the editor of a two-volume edition of the letters published by Oxford University Press in 1979. He is also the author of Rider Haggard: His Life and Works and Rudyard Kipling to Rider Hagbgard: The Record of a Friendship.
Review:
"...each [letter] is a miniature Wonderland...They reveal a truly delightful man...the combination of intense goodness and unselfishness with a magic, nonsense wit is unique" The Scotsman
"In the letters as in the 'Alice' stories Carroll drew from a bottomless well of humour and nonsense" Sunday Times
"A glass key back into that wonderland to which he never lost the passport" Daily Mail
"...a magnificent collection of delightful and entertaining letters reflecting all that was embraced in that remarkable character...all his charm, inventive fun, wisdom, generosity, kindliness and inventive mind" Oxford Times
"Carroll's letters to children are often just as good as the Alice books precisely because they stick the knife in; as you read them you sense that he was imagining and enjoying what the parents might be thinking. Playfulness is shadowed by danger and perversion, which is one reason you might want to play." London Review of Books
