Lewis Carroll is the pseudonym of Alice in Wonderland’s creator, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, the shy Victorian don of Christ Church, Oxford, who spun a fantasy that has become immortal. Lewis Carroll came naturally to his storytelling proclivities, being one of eleven children and used to entertaining his siblings. In addition to his children’s writings, Lewis was an accomplished scholar and teacher of mathematics, as well as an avid photographer at a time when that art was in its infancy. Lewis Carroll obtained fame and wealth with the success of the “Alice†books, but his quiet life changed little. He remained at Oxford until his death from complications of influenza. By any name, Lewis Carroll was a genius who has afforded pleasure to millions over the years.
