Lewis Carroll
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lewis Carroll was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898),[1] a British writer, poet, logician (mathematics expert), Anglican clergyman, and photographer. He is most famous for his story Alice's Adventures in Wonderland which he told to a young friend, Alice Liddell, when he took the girl and two of her sisters on a boat trip. Alice enjoyed the story and asked Dodgson to write it down. Carroll then wrote a second story about Alice called Through the Looking Glass. Both stories are still popular with people all over the world. He was a lecturer in mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford, and wrote some books on the subject.[2]
