Lewis Carroll in Wonderland and at Home: The Story of His Life

Born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson in the quiet oak‑lined village of Daresbury, the future Lewis Carroll grew up amid a long line of clerics and scholars.

Even as a child, he delighted in inventing fanciful worlds that offered an escape from the plain realities of Victorian England, hinting at the creative spark that would soon reshape children’s literature.
