January 14 - Lewis Carroll

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, died this day in 1898. He 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. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy.
