 Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 |
VAN DOREN: ... Did you read the book at an early age?
RUSSELL: Oh, yes. I was brought up on the two books, both Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Through the Looking-Glass was published the year I was born, and they were still comparatively recent books when I was young. I was brought up on the first editions, which I had in the nursery. It didn't occur to anybody that they had any value and I just had them to wear out. I knew them by heart from an early age.
