Lewis Carroll
b. 1-27-1832; Daresbury, Cheshire, England
d. 1-14-1898; Guildford, Surrey

British author, clergyman, mathematician, lecturer and photographer Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, who used the pen name Lewis Carroll, is best known as a children's author of the fanciful Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking Glass (1872). He also published The Hunting of the Snark, (1876) and two volumes Sylvie and Bruno (1889 and 1893) under Lewis Carroll, in addition to mathematical papers as Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.

Dodgson was also an accomplished photographer and closely supervised the illustration of Sir John Tenniel that were reproduced by wood engraving for the first edition of ‘Alice’. It is interesting to compare the works as Lewis Carroll as he intended them to be seen, and other editions with color illustrations by such notable illustrators as Arthur Rackham, and the animated visions of Disney.

	Alice in Wonderland- “Have some wine,“ the March Hare said in an encouraging tone. Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. “I don't see any wine,” she remarked. “There isn't any,” said the March Hare. “Then it wasn't very civil of you offer it,” said Alice angrily. “It wasn't very civil of you to sit down with being invited,” said the March Hare. ”I didn't know it was your table,” said Alice; “it's laid for a great many more than three.” • Children's Authors poster
