Dodgson was born in Daresbury, Cheshire, on Jan 27, 1832.

His Education
Young Dodgson attended Richmond School, Yorkshire (1844-45),and then Rugby School (1846-50). He endured several illnesses during this period, one of which left him deaf in one ear.
After Rugby he spent a further year beingtutored by his father, during which he matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford (May 23, 1850). He went into residence as an undergraduate there on Jan. 24, 1851.
LewisCarroll was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer.
Photography
Dodgson is also remembered as a fine photographer ofchildren and of adults as well. Portraits of the actress Ellen Terry, the poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, the poet-painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and many others have survivedand have been often reproduced. In fact, Ellen Terry was one of many child friends of Dodgson. However, in 1880 Dodgson abandoned his hobby altogether, feeling thatit was taking up too much time that might be better spent.
Famous writings
His most famous writings are Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through theLooking-Glass, as well as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all examples of the genre of literary nonsense. He is noted for his facility at wordplay, logic, and fantasy, and there are societies in many parts of the world, dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of his works and the investigation of his life.
