Inventing Wonderland by Jackie Wullschlager

Posted by Marco on August 11th, 2001

Biography choice: Inventing Wonderland by Jackie Wullschlager
Edward Lear lived a solitary life, preferring children to adults as an escape from his homosexuality. Lear�s attitude to children is presented as being the kindest, his nonsense limericks having none of the menace of Carroll�s work.
