| Summary | "The Story of Lewis Carroll" by Isa Bowman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work provides an intimate glimpse into the life and personality of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, who is better known as Lewis Carroll, through the eyes of Miss Isa Bowman, one of the children he famously befriended. The book recounts their experiences together and explores Carroll's relationships, his years at Oxford, and his unique character traits. At the start of the narrative, Bowman reflects on the difficulty of recounting the life of a cherished friend no longer with us. She shares her childhood memories of Carroll, portraying him as a kind-hearted professor who effortlessly combined whimsical storytelling with teaching, especially in mathematics. The opening section delves into personal anecdotes, highlighting their moments together in his Oxford home, peppered with tales and lessons infused with fun and growth. Through her perspective, readers begin to see Carroll not only as the author of "Alice in Wonderland" but also as a beloved figure who understood and cherished childhood innocence.
