Born on January 27, 1832, in Cheshire, England, Carroll manifested a penchant for writing and storytelling from an early age. His most acclaimed works, 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' (1865) and its sequel 'Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There' (1871), collectively referred to as 'Alice in Wonderland,' have captivated audiences for generations with their fantastical narratives, whimsical characters, and ingenious wordplay. Carroll's literary style is celebrated for its blend of nonsense, logic, and satire, which has profoundly influenced the genre of literary nonsense. His imaginative prose combined with elements of his mathematical background created a unique storytelling experience that often incorporated complex word puzzles and riddles, enthralling both children and adults. Carroll's 'Alice' books have been translated into numerous languages and adapted into countless theatrical performances, films, and artworks, cementing his legacy as one of the most enduring figures in English literature. Beyond his fiction, Carroll was a serious academic, lecturing in mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford, where he spent much of his life, though it is his literary contributions that continue to spark the imagination of readers around the world.
