Alice in Wonderland was written by Lewis Carroll, which is the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. He was an English novelist, poet, mathematician, and photographer. The story, originally titled "Alice’s Adventures Under Ground," was first told orally by Dodgson during a boat trip on July 4, 1862, and he later wrote it down at the request of Alice Liddell, the daughter of his friend. The book was published in 1865 under his pen name Lewis Carroll. Dodgson’s work is celebrated for its literary nonsense and imaginative fantasy style, and Alice in Wonderland remains one of the most famous works of Victorian literature.
