Lewis Carroll is a brilliant author who is original and very imaginative. He has written two stories featuring Alice as the main character. These are 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There'.
As a child, he was one of eleven siblings and showed a lot of imagination. He made his own successful Board Games, and as a teenager edited his own magazines (which at that point contained his nonsense yet entertaining poems and humor). He was generally a shy man. He was a professional mathematician, very skilled in nonsense verse and writing in general, and a good photographer.
On a boat trip with his friend and a bunch of girls, on 4th July 1862, he entertained them with a story he called 'Alice's Adventures Under Ground' which was edited and published in 1865 with the new title 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'. The second book was published in 1871. Carroll has entertained children and even adults for years and years since.

What are facts about Lewis Carroll?
Lewis Carroll, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was an English writer, mathematician, and photographer best known for his iconic works such as "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass." He was also a lecturer in mathematics at Oxford University and had a keen interest in logic and wordplay. Carroll's literary works have inspired countless adaptations and interpretations across various media.
Is Alice in Wonderland based on scientific facts?
No, Alice in Wonderland is an entirely fictitious fairy tale.However, there is a theory that it may be satirizing non-Euclidean geometry, which was a fairly new idea in mathematics when Lewis Carroll was teaching, and one which infuriated him.Alice in Wonderland, as well as some of his other works are often considered works of satire related to the British government and British society. Some works are available in annotated form with commentaries on various sentences and events in the books.
How does Alice in Wonderland reflect Lewis Carroll's life?
In many ways. Some of them are: a) Lewis Carroll had a very bizarre relationship to food - he didn't eat much and was appalled by other peoples' appetites. This shows in Alice In Wonderland, where food is mentioned with negative connotation - it makes Alice grow to various sizes, which makes her feel very uncomfortable. Also, in the chapter about the Mad Tea-Party, the Dormouse tells a story about some people and Alice asks what they lived off, to which he answers "treacle". Alice says this can't be true, for living solely off treacle would make them sick. The Dormouse replies "So they were. Very sick". b) Lewis Carroll had sleeping problems and may have suffered from insomnia. In the chapter about The Mad Tea-Party, the Dormouse has trouble staying awake and wants to sleep all the time. c) Lewis Carroll had an enourmous love for young girls - he wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for Alice Liddell, an 11-year-old girl. Furthermore, Lewis Carroll is from the Victorean Era, therefore lived in a society with a feminine ruler (the queen), and in his stories, girls and women are almost always the main characters. d) Lastly, Lewis Carroll is the pseudonym of Charles Dodgson. In the book, Alice has trouble finding out who she is, and she seeks her own idenity. Parallels could be drawn between those facts. There are many more reflections, lots of them are mathematical but I won't go in to that too much, but Charles Dodgson was a very conservative person, and his pseudonym, Lewis Carroll, was a liberal. In the book he subtly lets the reader know, that he didn't approve of quaternions (a four-dimensional number), which also reflects on how mathematics developed in the 1800's. Anyway, like I said, I won't go in to that, one needs to now a lot about complex numbers and quaternions to understand the mathematics in it.
