His real name is Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. He was born in 1832 in the village of Daresbury, England. Lewis was the eldest of eleven children. His father, a priest, grew his son's love for literature and learning from an early age. Lewis was known for his vivid imagination and storytelling abilities. He often told fantastic tales to his younger siblings. As a child, Lewis was fond of games and outdoor activities such as fishing and hiking, which drove his curiosity about the natural world. He developed a passion for photography during his years of growing up. He took pictures of life around him, as well as portraits of his friends and family. However, his love for words made him special; he wrote poetry and short stories in his youth which were very talented and creative, and sent them to magazines. These early experiences allowed him to explore his imagination and set the foundation for the fantastic worlds he would create in works like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. These stories combine the playful use of logic and the absurdity of calculations which entertain readers and encourage them to think critically about the rules that regulate their own understanding of reality.
