Lewis Carroll, aka Charles Dodgson

I found the class lecture about Lewis Carroll rather interesting, so I decided to find out a little more.  Here's what I found:

Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) was born in 1832 in Cheshire, England.  He was extraordinarily gifted, and he known as a mathematician, photographer, logician, clergyman, and writer.  I find it very interesting that he was such a good photographer for his time.  It seems to simple for the man who wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.  I also find it amazing that he just made up this story one day to tell Alice, and then wrote it down.  One tends to wonder how his brain must have worked, and whether there might have been something wrong with him.  During his later years, Dodgson preached at a Church (Which also seems odd to me), and enjoyed his fame and success.  He died of phenomena right before his 66th birthday.  Today, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass are still popular among children and adults alike.
