The original Alice

"Here, with many charming illustrations, Sally Brown tells the story of [the Rev. Charles Lutwidge] Dodgson's lifelong devotion to Alice and traces the stages through which the manuscript--now one of the British Library's most treasured possessions--progressed as it was revised, expanded, given new illustrations by John Tenniel and finally published, under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."--Page 4 of cover.
