Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, popularly known by his pseudonym, Lewis Carroll, was a renowned English writer, mathematician, and photographer. Brought up in a family of clergymen, he exhibited talent in singing, storytelling and writing poetry from early childhood. He was excellent in academics and graduated with a first class honours in mathematics from Christ Church College, Oxford. He then won the Mathematical Lectureship at Christ Church, a position he held for over 25 years. Carroll shared a very special bond with little children. One of the daughters of the college dean, Alice Liddell convinced him to write the stories he would narrate to them during their outings. Carroll obliged and his manuscript was soon published as ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ (1865). The book became a global bestseller in children fiction and earned him worldwide fame. He also took up photography and earned a reputation in the new art form. His subjects were often little children whom he photographed in different costumes and situations. Having juggled various occupations throughout his life, he retired from his teaching profession and photography around 1881. His other famous works are ‘Through the Looking-Glass’ and What Alice Found There’ (1871; a sequel to the first Alice book) and mathematical writings like ‘An Elementary Treatise on Determinants’ (1867) and ‘Curiosa Mathematica’ (1888). He is best remembered for his talent in word play, logic, and child-like fantasy.
