Lewis Carroll was the pen-name of Charles Dodgson, an English writer and
the author of two of the best loved children's books in English Literature –
'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass'. The
characters and phrases from these books have entered and become part of the
English culture so, if someone calls you 'Mad as a Hatter', you know whom to
thank.

Charles Dodgson was talented in many ways. Apart from being a creative
writer, he was also a Mathematics Don (professor) at Oxford and a well-known
logician. He was interested in photography and music. He sang very well, played
chess and enjoyed creating and solving puzzles.

Charles Dodgson was born on 27 January 1832 and spent the first eleven
years of his life at Warrington, Cheshire where his father was the priest. His
family was large; his parents had 11 children, 4 boys and 7 girls.

Charles was educated first by home-schooling, then at two boarding schools,
and finally at Christ Church College, Oxford. Later in life, he remembered his
boarding school experience without any warm feelings. Still, he was an
excellent student and studied very well in all his subjects.

In 1854 Charles Dodgson got a 1st class degree in Mathematics
and one year later he became a lecturer in Mathematics at Christ Church
College. It was then that he started his literary career and took his pen-name,
Lewis Carroll. While his creative books and poetry were published under his
pen-name, he also wrote books on Mathematics under his own name.
