Charles Lutwidge Dodgson

(27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898),
better known by the pen name Lewis Carroll,
was an English author, mathematician, logician,
Anglican deacon and photographer.

His most famous writings are
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass
as well as the poems

all examples of the genre of literary nonsense.

He is noted for his facility at word play, logic,
and fantasy, and there are societies dedicated

and the investigation of his life in many parts of
the world.
