– 14 January 1898), better known by the pseudonym Lewis Carroll

was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer. His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, as well as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all examples of the genre of literary nonsense.

Finding a great interest in photography as well as writing, Dodgson became enamored with the little Liddell girls, especially Alice. They are the subjects of some of his most famous photographs, and little Alice went on to become the heroine of his most famous story Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, initially entitled Alice Underground.

The phrase "mad as a hatter" pre-dates Carroll's works and the characters the Hatter and the March Hare are initially referred to as "both mad" by the Cheshire Cat, with both first appearing in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, in the seventh chapter titled "A Mad Tea-Party".
