On a summer's day in 1858, in a garden behind Christ Church College in Oxford, Charles Dodgson, a lecturer in mathematics, photographed six-year-old Alice Liddell, the daughter of the college dean, with a Thomas Ottewill Registered Double Folding camera, recently purchased in London. Simon Winchester deftly uses the resulting image--as unsettling as it is famous, and the subject of bottomless speculation--as the vehicle for a brief excursion behind the lens, a focal point on the origins of a classic work of English literature. Dodgson's love of photography framed his view of the world and was partly responsible for transforming a shy and half-deaf mathematician into one of the world's best-loved observers of childhood. Little wonder that there is more to "Alice Liddell as the Beggar Maid" than meets the eye. Using Dodgson's published writings, private diaries, and of course his photographic portraits, Winchester gently exposes the development of Lewis Carroll and the making of his Alice. Acclaim for Simon Winchester "An exceptionally engaging guide at home everywhere, ready for anything, full of gusto and seemingly omnivorous curiosity."--Pico Iyer, The New York Times Book Review "A master at telling a complex story compellingly and lucidly."
--USA Today "Extraordinarily graceful."
--Time "Winchester is an exquisite writer and a deft anecdoteur."
--Christopher Buckley "A lyrical writer and an indefatigable researcher."

Nearly instant blending
Color: P-Storage Cover Black, Size: Prestige Rechargeable
Wow! That's my impression of this handy gadget. It has a quality feel to it and super easy to understand. I charged it up full and have used it more than a dozen times with no sign of it needing a recharge. My main use is to blend my protein powder into milk and juice in the morning. Let me tell you - it takes about five seconds. Instead of fighting the blend with a spoon for nearly a minute this frother has it done so quickly it's amazing. The powder and fluids are mixed WAY better than with a spoon and in record time.
It also makes the drink much smoother and the taste is thick and creamy. It's hard to describe how easily it functions. Oh and clean up? That's a snap. Just dunk it in clear water and turn it on a few seconds. This is one of the handiest tools I've ever added to my kitchen.

Powerful
Color: P-Storage Cover Black, Size: Prestige Rechargeable
The only reason I gave this a 4 star is that I wish it had a slower speed. Have to be careful not to fling liquid everywhere with a smaller cup. It does have power!!

Powerful Frother and Great Value
Color: P-Stand & Storage Cover Black, Size: Prestige Rechargeable
This little frother was a great find and value. Super happy with its performance. It has two speeds available, but I’ve only needed the lower setting because it’s so powerful. I’ve tried two other brands (one cheaper and one more expensive) and this one is by far the best! I’ve had it for 3 weeks, use it daily 2-3 times per day and it still hasn’t needed to be charged.
