Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a classic novel written by Lewis Carroll, which was first published in 1865. The story follows a young girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantastical world full of peculiar characters and absurd situations. Alice encounters various anthropomorphic creatures, including the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts. Each character she meets presents unique challenges and whimsical conversations. The narrative is known for its surreal and nonsensical elements, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The book is often appreciated for its clever wordplay, satirical commentary on Victorian society, and the exploration of the nature of logic and reality. Lewis Carroll, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was a mathematician and a logician, and these influences are evident in the story's playful approach to language and reasoning. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has become a beloved and enduring work of literature, inspiring numerous adaptations in various forms of media, including films, plays, and other literary works. The sequel, "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There," was published in 1871, further continuing Alice's adventures in the whimsical world Carroll created.
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832 - 1898), better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English writer of children's fiction, notably Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass. He was noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy. The poems Jabberwocky and The Hunting of the Snark are classified in the genre of literary nonsense. He was also a mathematician, photographer, inventor and Anglican deacon. Carroll came from a family of high-church Anglicans, and developed a long relationship with Christ Church, Oxford, where he lived for most of his life as a scholar and teacher. Alice Liddell, daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, Henry Liddell, is widely identified as the original for Alice in Wonderland, though Carroll always denied this. Speculation about the nature of his relationships with children has foundered on lack of evidence. Born in All Saints' Vicarage, Daresbury, Cheshire, in 1832, Carroll is commemorated at All Saints' Church, Daresbury, in its stained glass windows depicting characters from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. In 1982, a memorial stone to Carroll was unveiled in Poets' Corner, Westminster Abbey.
