Afternoon Play: Lewis Carroll's Adventures in Russia

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

In 1867 Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) made his only trip abroad: he went to Russia with his friend, the clergyman Henry Parry Liddon. But, as their journals revealed, their experiences were entirely different. And, as the journey progressed, Liddon began to get more and more irritated with his companion's taste for the absurd and the curious.
