Meet the man who created Alice, the Mad Hatter, and Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum!
Lewis Carroll is the pen name of Charles L. Dodgson, a mathematician and church deacon, who taught at Oxford University. He was inspired to write his best known works, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, by one of the Dean's daughters, Alice Liddell. The books were hugely successful and brought Carroll wide acclaim, especially for the nonsense poems "Jabberwocky" and The Hunting of the Snark.
Children and adults continue to be delighted by the fantasy of the Alice stories, which have been the basis of plays and movies since their publication in Victorian England during the 1860s and 1870s.
來認識創作出愛麗絲、瘋帽子、半斤和八兩這些角色的作者吧!
路易斯.卡羅是查爾斯.路特維奇.道奇森的筆名,他是一名數學家及教會執事,且在牛津大學教書。靈感來自迪安的女兒,愛麗絲.李道爾,卡羅寫出了聞名於世的著作《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》以及《愛麗絲鏡中奇遇》,獲得成功的迴響也讓卡羅聲名大噪,特別是名為〈無聊〉的詩以及〈獵鯊記〉。
自從卡羅作品在維多利亞時期,約 1860 年代到 1870 年代間出版後,不論大人或是小孩皆深深被改編自愛麗絲這奇幻故事的話劇及電影所吸引。
