Lewis Carroll (27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898) was the pseudonym of English author, mathematician, and photographer Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.

The author’s two most famous works are Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and its sequel Through the Looking Glass (1871). Both books are widely read around the world. The first, usually called Alice in Wonderland, has been translated into more than 30 languages, including Arabic and Chinese. The book is also in Braille so that blind people can read and enjoy it.

Carroll wrote both books to entertain children, but adults also enjoy the humor, imaginative characters, and adventures contained in the stories. The books have been studied by scholars to find meanings for seemingly meaningless things.
