Excellent biography of Charles Lamb, detailed, thoroughly researched, comprehensive. Full and sympathetic exploration of the work as well as the man. Illuminating and insightful. Highly recommended.

It is with pleasure that I write my thoughts on Dream Child by E Wilson. I studied the Romantics in Uni but only touched on Charles Lamb, I would recommend any student of literature from that period to add this book to their reading list. It is so well written, the characters come to life under this authors hand, I loved his descriptions of the relationships between Mary and the family also Hazlett, Coleridge, etc. They are brought to vivid life here. My very grateful thanks to Netgalley, the publishers and the Author for the opportunity to read this inspiring, fascinating book.
