Description:

New York Times Bestselling Author of Eats, Shoots & Leaves, turns her eyes away from punctuation to the 'literary' world. Tennyson's Gift is a cocktail of Victorian seriousness, tragedy and farce that re-imagines the world of the nineteenth-century English poet laureate and his family, placing him in the midst of an eccentric company that includes Reverend Charles Dodgson, Lewis Carroll, George Watts, Ellen Terry and Julia Margaret Cameron and their servants.
