Lewis Carroll, born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson in 1832 in England, was a renowned author and mathematician. He is best known for his imaginative and nonsensical works, particularly his beloved children’s book “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” (1865) and its sequel “Through the Looking-Glass” (1871).
Carroll’s writing style is characterized by wordplay, absurdity, and clever logic puzzles, which continue to captivate readers of all ages. His works have had a significant influence on the fantasy genre, inspiring countless adaptations, films, and even a theme park. Carroll’s unique blend of whimsy, satire, and philosophical undertones make his books timeless classics that continue to be cherished by readers worldwide.
