Timeless (Pen) Names: The life and work of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, Samuel Langhorne Clemens, Eric Blair and Theodor Geisel - Paperback

by Thomas Fensch (Author)

Timeless (Pen) Names examines the writers behind four famous pseudonyms-Lewis Carroll, Mark Twain, George Orwell and Dr. Seuss-their lives, their books, their careers and why their books are so beloved over decades and decades.

This book examines their early years, the publication of their books, how they conjured up their pseudonyms and examines-in each case-how their books have sold millions of copies and will continue to sell millions of copies into the future. There is a complete bibliography for reference.
