Lewis Carroll better known as Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was famous for writing Alice in Wonderland. Carroll wrote many books, including a sequel to Alice in Wonderland, called Through the Looking- Glass. Carroll has not only written nonsense into books, he has also written the comic poem, "The Hunting of the Snark", and a nonsense poem "Jabberwocky". Carroll's inspiration was from little girls. He also took pictures of little girls, but was believed that his family destroyed all the things that Carroll did, that would destroy his reputation. Carrolls writing styles have delighted audiences from a range of all ages, from little kids to older adults. Carroll's books influenced a few 20th century writers such as James Joyce and Jorge Luis Borges.

Dodgson family was mainly northern English, with some Irish connections, conservative and High Church Anglican, most of Dodgson's ancestors belonged to the two traditional English upper-middle class professions: the army and the Church. Carroll great-grandfather, also Charles Dodgson, had risen through the ranks of the church to become a bishop. The other Charles also named Charles Dodgson was in the army, rank captain, but was killed in the war, 1803. Charles had two sons; they were hardly older than babies were. The oldest of all the Charles, reverted to the other family business, took holy orders; and he published some sermons, translated Tertullian, it is also believe that he went to Westminster School. Charles was mathematically gifted, even could have pursued a brilliant academic career, but Charles decided to marry his first cousin, and retired into obscurity as a country parson.

Carroll was born in a church house, in the town of Daresbury, and he was the oldest boy out of eleven brothers and sisters. He grew out of his childhood into a bright, articulate boy. Young Carroll was home schooled for his education. He was limited on his reading, his choices was family testify to a precocious intellect. When he was seven the gifted Carroll was reading The Pilgrim’s Progress. There is consideration that he was naturally left-handed and suffered severe psychological trauma by being forced to work against this tendency. The sad thing about this question is his family “destroyed” all of the incriminating evidences that might have been bad for his career. On Carroll 12TH birthday, he was sent away to a small private school near Richmond, it was told that he was happy there. However, when he left to Rugby School, it was a lot less fun for him. After five long years in Rugby School, he lifted for Oxford, where his college was located at, and it was told that his father went to the same college. Christ Church was the college’s name, as Carroll arrived, he got a letter that informs him that is mother died. It is believe that the cause of her deaf, was by a stroke or something to do with the brain. His mother died at the age of 47, not bad for having a ton of kids, and raising them all.

Carroll took up photography, so he would be able to combine the ideals of his sick mind, and his perverted ways. He used his mastery of photography to take pictures of little girls or subjects, with out shame or guilt. "Dodgson soon excelled at the art, and it became an expression of his very personal inner philosophy. A belief in the divinity of what he called beauty, by which he seemed to mean a state of moral or aesthetic or physical perfection, in the human form; in the body-images that moved him.” (qut. Biblio) His number one model was Alexandra Kitchin, whom he photographed around 50 times from the age of four until the age of about sixteen. He took pictures of Alexandra in a bath dress at the age of sixteen. He took pictures of many girls but about one third has survived sense 1880. They were long presumed lost, but six nudes have since surfaced, four of which have been published and another two are not known as will.
