The Life and Letters of Lewis Carroll (1898) is an anthology of letters and biographical information about Lewis Carroll compiled by his nephew, Stuart Dodgson Collingwood. It presents the life history of the author, highlighting not only his literary achievements but also his personal relationships. The work includes illustrations and snapshots and sheds light on Carrol's his interest in logic, mathematics, and literature for children.

This biography, subtitled The Original Scandalous Biography by Carroll's nephew, was written by Carroll's nephew and published only 11 months after his death in December 1898. It accidentally started the entire image of Lewis Carroll as a pedophile by deliberately suppressing all the evidence for his sometimes unconventional relationships with women, explaining that some of those women had been little girls... The Victorians had no concept of our modern idea of pedophilia. In fact, a man who loved pre-pubescent girls was considered especially saintly and innocent, and this was why Collingwood over-emphasized this aspect of his uncle's character so much. Stuart Dodgson Collingwood (1870–1937) was an English clergyman and headmaster. He wrote two books about his uncle, Lewis Carroll.
