Disappointing 'bio' of Charles Dodgson, pen name Lewis Carroll, famous for writing the 2 'Alice' books which have spawned a plethora of cartoons and movies, including the upcoming sequel "Through the Looking Glass'.
The book keeps teasing you, making you think it's going to thoroughly investigate the rumors that Dodgson had 'feelings' for little girls-- with most evidence based upon all the time he spent with young children, including much time photographing them. But the book turns into a complete history of the 'new' hobby or career of photography. It even details who or what appeared in Dodgson's numbered photos but fails to share any of them but the provokingly revealing one of a young Alice Liddell.
For those looking for a good read about the Liddell family or Alice who inspired the Wonderland stories, look elsewhere.
