Good authors are like good artist in every single meaning of the word creativity, but they use their words to paint picturesque stories in our head that are both unique and everlasting. Lewis Carrol, a children’s author of the Victorian Age was a very abstract minded writer. Almost all children’s tales of that time period had strict, extremely moralistic stories but his “Alice” books followed none of the thought process or story standards of the time period; Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the looking Glass, two of his most famous books are stories that are so unreal and complex but yet at the same time so lucid that you can understand and enjoy the fantasy and creativity of insanity. It is surprising that something as creative as this would come from Lewis Carroll. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) was a shy, celibate, conservative and rather obscure Oxford mathematics don (Rackin 15). Charles Dodgson’s upbringing, social circle, and stutter influenced the fantasies created in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, known best by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was born in the village of Daresbury, England, on January 27, 1832. He was the eldest boy in a family of 11 children growing under the care of his mother Frances Jane Dodgson and his father, Reverend Charles Dodgson. Carroll frequently made up games and poems, not unlike the creativity he had while writing the Alice books, for his brothers and sister when they were children. A great deal of Carroll’s childhood was spent taking care of his little sisters, and his imagination was constantly being exercised in order to entertain them. He was homeschooled by his father and was a math prodigy, winning many awards in his young age. He attended the Richmond Grammar School while contributing prose, poetry and drawings to a series of family magazines. Dodgson moved to Rugby School in 1846. Leaving Rugby in 1849, he completed his education from Christ Church, Oxford in 1850 after he receiving a scholarship. Carroll became a mathematic don student teacher at Christ Church in 1851. It was there that he befriended the Dean of the college. He also befriended the dean’s children: Harry, Edith, Lorina, and Alice when he was photographing a cathedral by the college (Holmes 2
