Autorenporträt
Charles Lutwidge Dogson, mais conhecido como Lewis Carroll (27 de janeiro de 1832 a 14 de janeiro de 1898), era o terceiro dos onze filhos de um pastor anglicano, sendo que se acostumou a contar histórias aos irmãos. Chegou a receber educação religiosa, mas seu grande interesse por álgebra, lógica e geometria fez com que se formasse com honras na universidade de Oxford, onde foi convidado a atuar como professor de matemática. Chegou a publicar alguns livros de poesia e matemática com conteúdos criativos e repletos de humor. Foi por essa época que conheceu Henry Liddell, de quem se tornaria grande amigo. Liddell era pai de Alice, garotinha que serviu de inspiração para duas das obras que ficariam conhecidas como ícones da literatura infantil: Alice no País das Maravilhas e Alice Através do Espelho.
