The Man behind the Wonderland – The Life and Work of the Legendary Author Lewis Carroll

The Life and Letters of Lewis Carroll is a biography written by Carroll's nephew and published only 11 months after his death in December 1898. It accidentally started the entire image of Lewis Carroll as a pedophile by deliberately suppressing all the evidence for his sometimes unconventional relationships with women, explaining that some of those women had been little girls…
Lewis Carroll in Wonderland and at Home: The Story of His Life was published in 1910. It is a biography of Lewis Carroll written by Belle Moses.
The Story of Lewis Carroll was published in 1899 and was written by Isa Bowman, an actress. Her title was based on the fact that she had once — thanks to Dodgson's influence — played Alice on stage. Her book was a memoir of her relationship with her “uncle” and benefactor.
Stuart Dodgson Collingwood (1870–1937) was an English clergyman and headmaster. He wrote two books about his uncle, Lewis Carroll. Belle Moses (1834 — 1891), was an author of a memoir about Lewis Carroll and a mother of Robert Moses, “master builder” of mid-20th century New York City. Isa Bowman (1874–1958) was an actress, a close friend of Lewis Carroll and author of a memoir about his life, The Story of Lewis Carroll, Told for Young People by the Real Alice in Wonderland.

    (6) This person is perfectly good.

    But I had better add that I do not want to deal with any such difficulties, unless they tend to affect life. Speculative difficulties which do not affect conduct, and which come into collision with any of the principles which I intend to state as axioms, lie outside the scope of my book. These axioms are:—
    (1) Human conduct is capable of being right, and of being wrong.
    (2) I possess Free-Will, and am able to choose between right and wrong.
    (3) I have in some cases chosen wrong.
    (4) I am responsible for choosing wrong.
    (5) I am responsible to a person.

    Some people, I know, make a practice of looking into vol. iii. first, just to see how the story ends; and perhaps it is as well just to know that all ends happily—that the much persecuted lovers do marry after all, that he is proved to be quite innocent of the murder, that the wicked cousin is completely foiled in his plot, and gets the punishment he deserves, and that the rich uncle in India (Qu. Why in India ? Ans. Because, somehow, uncles never can get rich anywhere else) dies at exactly the right moment—before taking the trouble to read vol i
