Dodgson was a rector's son and third in a family of eleven. He showed artistic and literary talent from an early age, producing comic family magazines with the help of his brothers and sisters. He was educated at Rugby and Christchurch College, Oxford, where he afterwards became a lecturer in mathematics and remained for most of his life, developing also a keen interest in amateur photography.
He took great pleasure in the company of children, particularly young girls, and his most famous works stemmed from the stories he told to his young friends Lorina, Alice, and Edith Liddell. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland began as a story told to the girls on a boat trip up the Isis in Oxford. ..
