Three Reviews and a Colonel
The book has had a lot of reviews now. I appreciate them all and am so grateful for them. Three that specially appeal to me are those by Robert Douglas-Fairhurst in the Telegraph, by Matthew Sweet in The Financial Times and by Michael Dirda in the Washington Post. They are all written by well informed people who have read the book properly and have something illuminating to say about it - good critics, in other words.
Matthew Sweet, in the FT, imagines me striding around debunking the nonsense that is talked about Carroll like "the colonel who closed down Monty Python sketches that became overly silly."
Actually, I'll confess it. My dad was a colonel.

Congratulations on these three amazing reviews! My favourite is the FT one! It was very much tongue in cheek at the expense of those who went as far as to suggest he was Jack the Ripper.
Isn't it amazing what one's bank accounts show? Absolutely fascinating stuff! Well done you!
Take care
