His literary masterpiece, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865), originated from a boat trip story he told to young Alice Liddell and her sisters. The tale, filled with whimsical characters such as the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, and the Queen of Hearts, became an instant classic. Its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass (1871), introduced the famous nonsense poem "Jabberwocky."
Carroll's other notable works include the comic poem The Hunting of the Snark (1876) and the novels Sylvie and Bruno (1889, 1893). He also published numerous mathematical treatises under his real name.
Renowned for his imaginative wordplay, logical puzzles, and playful nonsense, Carroll revolutionized children's literature by writing stories that entertained rather than merely instructed. His works remain widely read, translated, and adapted into countless films, plays, and other media, securing his place among the most influential authors in English literary history.
