Charles Lutwidge Dodgson by Isaac


Lewis Carroll wrote Jabberwocky and Alice and Wonderland and other poems.  He wrote nonsense poems.  I am a fan of his poems.  They don't make sense, but they are funny and good!  Lewis Carroll had a stutter but he only had it around grown ups, never around kids.  He loved kids.  He took lots of pictures of them.  He taught math at Christ Church.  He was very smart.   His real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson but he wrote under the pen name Lewis Carroll.  He was homeschooled as a child.  I like that he was homeschooled like me.  He wrote down Alice in Wonderland, after his little friend, Alice Liddell begged him to and gave it to her in 1864.  It is still popular today.  Johnny Depp was just in the new release of Alice in Wonderland so that is pretty good.  The story is over 100 years old and they are making movies about it still.  I bet all of you have read it at least once.  I like it too!!!
