Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll is the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, an English writer and mathematician best known for his children's literature. His most famous works center on the fantastical adventures of a young girl named Alice, filled with absurd logic games, verbal puns, and dreamlike shifts of scene; beneath the light, humorous narration lies a playful reflection on language and reason. This distinctive style of fantasy has endeared his writing to children while offering adults rich room for interpretation, and it has deeply influenced later fantasy and children's literature. This site features three English editions of Through the Looking-Glass, catalogued under foreign literature. Beyond the literary value of the works themselves, public information about his life is limited, so no speculation is offered here.
