Lewis Carroll was the pen-name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson,an English writer and author of two of the best loved children's books in English literature- Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.The characters and phrases from these books have entered and become part of the English lexicon （词典） in a way that was comparable to those from Shakespeare's works.
Charles Dodgson was born on January 27，1832 and spent the first eleven years of his life at Warrington.Dodgson was educated first by homeschooling,then at boarding schools in Richmond and at Rugby,and finally at Christ Church College,Oxford.In later life,he remembered his boarding school experience with no fondness.Still,he was an excellent student and did very well academically throughout.For all his brilliance or perhaps because of it,he couldn't be bothered to spend long hours studying and so he didn't.If things came easily,that was fine；if they didn't,well,that doesn't seem to have bothered him overmuch.
His book Alice's Adventures in wonderland first came into being in 1862 as a story he made up for Alice Liddell,the ten-year-old daughter of his friend Dean Henry Liddell.Later he wrote it down and showed the book,illustrated with his own drawings,to another friend,the fairy tale writer George Macdonald and his children.They loved it and enthusiastically urged him to get it published.Accordingly,Dodgson revised it for publication.And in 1865，with illustrations more professionally done by Sir John Tenniel,it became an immediate best-seller.Its sequel（续集）Through the Looking Glass proved equally popular.
