The journey to Russia was the first and only foreign trip to Lewis Carroll. In a month he managed to visit St. Petersburg, Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod. The Russian Diary is of particular interest not only because most of it is dedicated to Russia and Moscow, into which Carroll peers with special attention, but also because it allows you to better study its author.

The diary is accompanied by photographs of the second half of the 19th century, as well as the introductory article and detailed comments prepared by Nina Mikhailovna Demurova – the biographer and researcher of the work of Lewis Carroll, who became classic translations of his books “The Adventure of Alice in Wonderland” and “Alice Vorkalya”.
