Lewis Carroll
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, best known by his literary name, Lewis Carroll, was born in the UK, in Daresbury, on 27 January 1832 and died in Guildford on 14 January 1898. The British author is renowned for two books, Alice's adventures in Wonderland and Through the looking-glass, two literary classics for children that inspired generations of writers and artists. Carroll's works are full of wordplay and show a distinct taste for the nonsensical.
