Title: The Place of Lewis Carroll in Children's Literature (Children's Literature and Culture)
Description: In *The Place of Lewis Carroll in Children's Literature*, Jan Susina sets Lewis Carroll's books for children within the context of his earlier writing, his photographs of children, Victorian literary fairy tales, and Victorian children's books.  Susina discusses the continuing importance of *Alice's Adventures in Wonderland* in children's literature including in multimedia, film and book adaptations. In addition to examining Carroll's books for children, these essays also explore his photographs of children, his letters to children and adults, and his lasting contributions to publishing.  The book addresses the important, but overlooked, facet of Carroll's career as an astute entrepreneur who carefully developed an extensive *Alice* industry of books and non-book items based on the success of *Wonderland*, while rigorously defending his reputation as the originator of his distinctive style of children's stories.
