The surprising human stories behind book dedications, and what they tell us about authors. Book dedications contain humor, drama and even mystery. What childless children's book author created imaginary children to dedicate his books to? Why did a book dedication almost cost an English Lord his head? Who dedicated his memoir to a body part (and now regrets it)? What famous doctor waited too late to credit his wife for her contributions to his bestselling book? The author presents book dedications that span the ages, from lovely Elizabethan stanzas to the occasionally tawdry offerings of recent authors. It's a fun romp through literature's backstreets and alleys.
