Teave autori kohta

 Lewis Carroll was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. Carroll wrote two of the most famous books in English literature—Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and its continuation, Through the Looking-Glass. 

Born in the year 1832, in Daresbury, in north‑west England, Carroll wrote both books to entertain and amuse people he admired. He was also a skilled mathematician, logician and photographer.

Carroll enjoyed being with children. He created the character of Alice to amuse a little girl named Alice Liddell, who was his friend. One day, Carroll took Alice and her sisters on a boat trip on the river Isis. Carroll invented the stroy of Alice in Wonderland to amuse the children. Later, Carroll wrote the story down.

Carroll enlarged the story into its present book-length version, which was published in 1865.
