Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898), an English author, mathematician, and Anglican deacon. He studied at Christ Church, Oxford, where he later lectured in mathematics. His most famous work, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865), originated from a story he told to Alice Liddell and her sisters during a boating trip. The book, with its playful logic, memorable characters, and linguistic inventiveness, became a global classic and a cornerstone of children's literature. Carroll also wrote the sequel Through the Looking-Glass (1871) and the nonsense poem The Hunting of the Snark (1876). His works have inspired countless adaptations and remain influential in literature, philosophy, and popular culture.
