Just when we thought we knew everything about Lewis Carroll, here
comes this "insightful . . . scholarly . . . serious" (John
Butcher, American Scientist) biography that will appeal to Alice
fans everywhere. Fascinated by the inner life of Charles Lutwidge
Dodgson, Robin Wilson, a Carroll scholar and a noted mathematics
professor, has produced this revelatory book-filled with more than
one hundred striking and often playful illustrations-that examines
the many inspirations and sources for Carroll's fantastical
writings, mathematical and otherwise. As Wilson demonstrates,
Carroll made significant contributions to subjects as varied as
voting patterns and the design of tennis tournaments, in the
process creating large numbers of imaginative recreational puzzles
based on mathematical ideas.
