Although the elusiveness and strangeness of Carroll's personality is acknowledged, he is shown as a real human being who lived, breathed and had a life. The book contains a chapter on Carroll's personal bank account - material discovered by the author. This document, covering over forty years, casts hitherto unseen and unconsidered light upon Carroll's life. The book also uses previously unpublished letters from Alice's sister to help unravel the reason why Carroll's friendship with the Liddell family came to an end.
