Lucas provides a detailed and fascinating account of Tolstoy, not only of his life and education in London in the mid-nineteenth century, but also of the complex genius who was later to write War and Peace and Anna Karenina, his educational principles, and his attempts to put them into practice.
Above all, the author throws light on an aspect of Tolstoy's character not often appreciated - his deep understanding of children and delight in his relationships with them.
