Talk on Lewis Carroll next Tuesday

The Friends of Milner Library have kindly invited me to speak at their spring meeting about "The Place of Lewis Carroll in Children's Literature."  My talk will be Tuesday, March 30, at 7 p.m. in the Bone Student Center Founders Suite. 

I plan to give a talk and slide presentation based on my recent book from Routledge with a focus on Carroll as a book author, publisher, marketer, entrepreneur, scholar.  I will examine the importance of the Alice books within the history of children's literature -- including why they're pivotal in the field. I thought I would also briefly touch on some of the myths and misconceptions of Carroll.  I'm also working in a few thoughts about the recent Alice in Wonderland film as well.

Thanks to Toni Tucker at Milner for organizing the talk and to Eric Jome for additional publicity from Media Relations.
