Just want Lewis Carroll?
Hello! My real name was Charles Dodgson, but I had a special, secret name I used for writing stories: Lewis Carroll. When I was a boy, I loved making up silly poems and fun games to play with my brothers and sisters. I thought imagination was the most wonderful thing in the world! I always carried a notebook with me, just in case a fun idea for a story popped into my head.
I had a dear young friend named Alice. One sunny afternoon on July 4th, 1862, we went for a boat ride with her sisters. To keep them from getting bored, I made up a story about a curious girl, also named Alice, who followed a White Rabbit wearing a waistcoat right down a rabbit hole! She found a magical place called Wonderland, where she met a grinning Cheshire Cat that could disappear, and had a very silly tea party with a Mad Hatter.
Alice loved the story so much that she asked me to write it down for her. That story became the book 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,' which was published in 1865. I lived to be 65 years old, and I was so happy that my silly stories made children smile. Today, children all over the world still read about Alice's adventures, reminding everyone that a little bit of imagination can make life magical.
