In this biography, the author reveals Lewis Carroll as a man who faced what Robert Browning described as The Dangerous Edge of Things, closer to the underworld of psychopathology, crime and vice than his admirers thought possible, yet closer still to the golden afternoon of Wonderland.

For Laurence and Menna Davies

Preface
The assumption of this book is that a man who bequeathed to the world such treasures as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass, and The Hunting of the Snark may be forgiven anything.
