刘易斯·卡罗尔
刘易斯·卡罗尔（Lewis Carroll）的真名叫查尔斯·勒特威奇·道奇森（1832～1898），是一位数学家，长期在享有盛名的牛津大学任堂学院数学讲师，发表了好几本数学著作。他因有严重的口吃，故而不善与人交往，但他兴趣广泛，对小说、诗歌、逻辑都颇有造诣，还是一个优秀的儿童像摄影师。
《爱丽丝漫游仙境》是卡罗尔兴之所致，给友人的女儿爱丽丝所讲的故事，写下后加上自己的插图送给了她。后来在朋友鼓励下，卡罗尔将手稿加以修订、扩充、润色后，于1865年正式出版。故事讲述了一个叫爱丽丝的小女孩，在梦中追逐一只兔子而掉进了兔子洞，开始了漫长而惊险的旅行，直到最后与扑克牌王后、国王发生顶撞，急得大叫一声，才大梦醒来。这部童话以神奇的幻想，风趣的幽默，昂然的诗情，突破了西欧传统儿童文学道德说教的刻板公式，此后被翻译成多种文字，走遍了全世界。
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (pronounced /ˈdɒdsən/, DOD-sən; 27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898), better known by the pseudonym Lewis Carroll (/ˈkærəl/, KA-rəl), was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and a photographer. His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-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 word play, logic, and fantasy, and there are societies dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of his works and the investigation of his life in many parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, Japan, the United States, and New Zealand.
