Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832 \u2013 1898), better known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, was an English writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer. His most famous writings are Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland<\/em> (which tops today’s Buffet) and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass<\/em>, as well as the poems “The Hunting of the Snark” and “Jabberwocky.”<\/p>\n

Carroll is noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy, and there are societies in many parts of the world (including the United Kingdom, Japan, the United States, and New Zealand) dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of his works and the investigation of his life.<\/p>\n

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland<\/em> (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland<\/em>) was published in 1865. It tells of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It’s considered one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre, and its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.<\/p>\n

The Kindle edition offered today, normally priced at $2.99, includes Sir John Tenniel\u2019s classic illustrations, along with a gallery of art from six different artists\u2019 interpretations.<\/p>\n
