About Lewis Carroll
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was born on January 27, 1832, in Daresbury, Cheshire, England.
In 1843, Dodgson's family moved to Croft-on-Tees, near Darlington. While there, he attended Richmond Grammar School in nearby Richmond. He later attended Oxford University, where he studied mathematics and logic, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1854.
After completing his studies, Dodgson returned to Oxford as a lecturer in mathematics. Alongside his academic career, he pursued interests in photography and writing.
In 1856, Dodgson met Henry Liddell, the dean of Christ Church, Oxford, and his family – including his daughter Alice, who became the inspiration for his most famous work, "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland."
In 1864, Dodgson moved to Croft-on-Tees, where he lived with his family for several years. During this time, he continued to write and publish books, including "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass."
Dodgson also pursued his passion for photography while in Croft-on-Tees, capturing portraits of notable figures such as Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and actress Ellen Terry.
Dodgson died on January 14, 1898. He is buried in the cemetery of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Guildford, Surrey.
Dodgson’s legacy as a writer and creator of beloved children's books has endured for over a century. His works have been adapted into numerous films, television shows, and stage productions and continue to captivate readers of all ages.
