About the author

The Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by the pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican clergyman and photographer.

His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass as well as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all considered to be within the genre of literary nonsense.

Oxford scholar, Church of England Deacon, University Lecturer in Mathematics and Logic, academic author of learned theses, gifted pioneer of portrait photography, colourful writer of imaginative genius and yet a shy and pedantic man, Lewis Carroll stands pre-eminent in the pantheon of inventive literary geniuses.

He also has works published under his real name.

Reviews

[Shelley · Rating 5 out of 5]

The edition I have is "Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass." It doesn't say "Adventures" on the cover or title page. It appears to be very old. The Goldsmith Publishing Co. Chicago appears on the title page. No dates anywhere.

I love the stories. It's one of the few stories that were really just a dream that I'm okay with. Maybe it's because I knew that before I even started.

My favorite parts deal with wordplay. English really can be a silly language.
