Lewis Carroll, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was a mathematician and logician who began writing Fairy Tales and children's stories as a hobby. His most famous work, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," was inspired by a boat trip he took with the Liddell family, during which he entertained the children with a fantastical story. It was the positive reception to these stories that led Carroll to pursue writing as a career.

Was the author of Alice in Wonderland on an acid trip when she wrote the book?

There is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that Lewis Carroll ever used any form of narcotic. Carroll was a very conservative and respectable gentleman and there is no reason to suppose that he used narcotics other than wishful thinking on the part of people who would like it if there were a connection between ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'' and the recreational use of drugs. He definitely wasn't crazy, either. He was a mathematician, with a very clear and logical understanding of everything around him. It's because he was so logical that he could play with logic as he did. The crazy answers and unreasonable reason of his characters are strange, most of the time hilarious, but they never actually lack in logic. The story is so twisted and wonderful because Lewis Carroll was also very creative and imaginative. Lewis Caroll was neither crazy nor on drugs when he wrote Alice in Wonderland. He was extremely tired of children's books trying to teach a moral or with a religious theme. He wanted to write pure fantasy that children could simply enjoy.
