Lewis Carroll's classic tales of Alice go almost without introduction -- but many in our day an age know the story only from an infinity of TV adaptations. That's a shame, because Carroll was a delightful writer: ." . . Just then her head struck against the roof of the hall: in fact she was now more than nine feet high, and she at once took up the little golden key and hurried off to the garden door. . . . Poor Alice!" Alice may be poor, but all who read of her are wealthy in a way that's utterly uncommon.
Lewis Carroll
Lewis Carroll, born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was an English writer, mathematician, and photographer best known for his children's novels "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass." His literary style is characterized by whimsical wordplay, clever puns, and nonsensical logic. Carroll's contributions to literature include popularizing the literary genre of literary nonsense and creating iconic characters such as the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter. His work continues to inspire generations of readers and remains a timeless classic in the realm of children's literature.
