Novelist's Biography: Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, an English author and mathematician best known for his children's book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." Carroll's work is noted for its whimsical and imaginative storytelling, as well as its use of wordplay and logic puzzles. Carroll was born in Cheshire, England, and showed a talent for mathematics and logic from a young age. He went on to study at Christ Church, Oxford, and eventually became a mathematics lecturer at the university. However, it was his literary pursuits that brought him the most fame and recognition. Carroll's most famous work, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," was first published in 1865 and has since become a classic of children's literature. The book follows a young girl named Alice as she falls down a rabbit hole and enters a fantastical world filled with peculiar creatures and absurd situations. Carroll's other works include "Through the Looking-Glass," "The Hunting of the Snark," and various poems and essays. He was also an accomplished photographer and inventor, and his contributions in these fields are often overlooked. Carroll's legacy as a writer continues to inspire new generations of readers and writers, and his work has been adapted into numerous films, television shows, and other media over the years. Despite his enduring fame, however, many aspects of Carroll's personal life remain shrouded in mystery and controversy, particularly his relationships with young girls. Synopsis: ​​​​​​​"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is a classic novel written by Lewis Carroll and first published in 1865. The story follows a young girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole and enters a fantastical world filled with peculiar creatures and absurd situations. In Wonderland, Alice meets a variety of strange characters, including a talking rabbit, a caterpillar smoking a hookah, and the Cheshire Cat. She attends a chaotic tea party hosted by the Mad Hatter and the March Hare, plays a game of croquet with the Queen of Hearts, and meets a grumpy and elusive creature called the Mock Turtle. As she navigates this surreal landscape, Alice is constantly challenged by the nonsensical logic of Wonderland, and often finds herself growing or shrinking in size, depending on the situation. Ultimately, she must find her way back home, but not before facing a final trial involving the Queen's bizarre court and the threat of beheading.
