Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll was a renowned polymath, notable as an author, mathematician, and photographer. His best-known work, “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” was written at the request of Alice Liddell, the daughter of a college dean, to entertain her and her friends during outings. The book became a global sensation and a best-seller in children’s literature.

In addition to his most famous work, Carroll authored several other notable literatures, including “Through the Looking-Glass,” “What Alice Found There,” “Curiosa Mathematica,” and “An Elementary Treatise on Determinants.” He is remembered for his exceptional talents in wordplay, logical reasoning, and whimsical imagination and was commemorated with a memorial stone at Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey.
