Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was a prodigious figure in the realm of children's literature, mathematics, and logic (Carroll, 1865; Dodgson, 1896). He was born on January 27, 1832, in Daresbury, Cheshire, England, and passed away on January 14, 1898. Carroll's illustrious literary career is highlighted by his iconic works, 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' (1865) and its sequel 'Through the Looking-Glass' (1871), which continue to resonate with both children and adults for their whimsical narrative, ingenious wordplay, and fantastical characters. While 'The Greatest British Classics' may not be directly attributed to Carroll as an original work, it comprises, amongst various esteemed authors, the enduring legacy of his storytelling (Cohen, 1995). Carroll's literary style is characterized by a blend of nonsensical humor, poetry, and clever puzzles, often reflecting his mathematical background and penchant for logic. His works unabashedly explore the boundaries of imagination, challenging the rigid Victorian norms of his time (Kelly, 1990). Beyond literature, Carroll's contributions to mathematics, especially in the fields of linear algebra and symbolic logic, have been noteworthy (Wilson, 2008). His ecclesiastical upbringing and conservative view on social issues add depth to his profile as a versatile and complex figure of the 19th century. Carroll's influence extends into various aspects of popular culture, reflecting his status as a seminal author in the British literary canon.
