Lewis Carroll
Lewis Carroll was the pen - name of Charles Dodgson, an English writer and author of two of the best loved children's books in English Literature – “Alice's Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking Glass”.
The characters and phrases from these books have entered and become part of the English culture so if someone calls you “Mad as a Hatter”, you know whom to thank.
Charles Dodgson was talented in many ways.
Apart from being a creative writer, he was also a Mathematics Don (professor) at Oxford and a well - known logician.
He was interested in photography and music.
He sang very well, played chess and enjoyed creating and solving puzzles.
Charles Dodgson was born on 27 January 1832 and spent the first eleven years of his life at Warrington, Cheshire where his father was the priest.
His family was large ; his parents had 11 children, 4 boys and 7 girls.
Charles was educated first by home - schooling, then at two boarding schools, and finally at Christ Church College, Oxford.
Later in life, he remembered his boarding school experience without any warm feelings.
Still, he was an excellent student and studied very well in all his subjects.
In 1854 Charles Dodgson got a 1st class degree in Mathematics and one year later he became a lecturer in Mathematics at Christ Church College.
It was then that he started his literary career and took his pen - name, Lewis Carroll.
While his creative books and poetry were published under his pen - name, he also wrote books on Mathematics under his own name.
When a new Headmaster arrived at Christ Church College, he brought with him his family.
Dodgson became the family’s close friend.
The Headmaster’s little daughters, the youngest of which was called Alice, enjoyed his company very much.
Charles often entertained the girls by telling them stories about imaginary worlds with fantastic creatures.
The story about the adventures of little Alice became popular all over the world.
“Alice in Wonderland” is primarily a children’s story, but adults have enjoyed the novel for over a century together with children.
Many elements of “Alice” were not completely new.
Talking animals, for instance, or the story idea in which a child or children are carried away from reality into a fantasy world.
However, it was Carroll who established a new motif that would be used again and again in children’s literature : Peter Pan, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the Narnia books, and the Harry Potter books.
That is the possibility for the main characters to travel back and forth between the real world and wonderland.
Though his characters travelled a lot between one world and another, Charles Dodgson himself didn’t like being away from home.
The only occasion on which (as far as it is known) he went abroad was a trip to Russia in 1867.
He died of pneumonia on 14 January 1898 at his sisters' home.
He was 2 weeks away from turning 66.
Charles Dodgson was a brother of the famous English writer Lewis Carroll.

All his life, Charles Dodgson loved entertaining children.
At the age of 30, he spent a lot of time with the Liddell girls — Lorina, Edith and his favourite, Alice.
He often photographed them, played 'nonsense' games with them, and told them long stories.
On a sunny afternoon in July 1862, Charles Dodgson and a friend took * the Liddell girls rowing on the River Thames near Oxford.
The children asked Dodgson to tell them a fairy tale, and 10 - year - old Alice Liddell said * she hoped the story would have "nonsense" in it.
So Dodgson told them an amazing tale, full of nonsense, about a little girl called Alice and her adventures in a magical underground world.
Alice liked the story so much that she said, "I wish you would write out Alice's adventures for me!
" Dodgson wrote down the story, drew * pictures for it, put * a photograph of Alice Liddell on the last page and gave the 'book' to her.
Later Dodgson made * some changes to the story and published the book as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1865.
The book was soon a success, and Dodgson wrote Through the Looking - Glass in 1871, based on more stories he told the Liddell girls.
When Dodgson died in 1898, Alice was already the most popular children's book in England.
Translated into dozens of languages, it became — and still is today — one of the most popular and most famous in the world.

David Livingstone
David Livingstone was an explorer, missionary, and anti - slavery fighter.
He became a great hero of the 19th century for his discoveries in Africa.
David Livingstone was born in 1813 in Scotland, and grew up with several brothers and sisters in a single room in a gloomy building for the workers of a cotton factory.
To support his family, he started working at the cotton mill as a child.
The work was dull and monotonous, but it taught him patience and sympathy with those who worked hard.
Though he had twelve - hour working days, David studied at school during the evenings and weekends.
Later, he started studying medicine in Glasgow and completed his medical studies in 1840 in London.
In the official role of a ‘medical missionary’, he set off for Africa, arriving in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1841.
Exploring Africa, Livingstone went north and walked across the Kalahari Desert.
He came upon Lake Ngami and, later, the Zambezi River.
Livingstone was the first European to see the famous Zambezi falls, which he renamed Victoria Falls, after Queen Victoria.
Livingstone was the first medical missionary to enter southern and central Africa, and he was the first European to meet local tribes.
He won their trust as a friendly person and an experienced doctor.
He had so many patients among the native people that he had to limit his treatment only to those with serious illnesses.
David Livingstone made two more expeditions to Africa.
By 1856, he was one of the first Europeans to cross the African continent from west to east.
His motto, which was later written on the base of the statue to him at Victoria Falls, was ‘Christianity, Commerce and Civilization.
’ He deeply believed that the navigation of the Zambezi River, as a commercial route into the centre of the continent, would help people achieve these goals.
Livingstone also tried to find the source of the Nile River.
He never did, but discovered lots of facts about the four great African lakes.
Livingstone’s African expeditions brought him fame as one of the leading explorers of the 19th century.
However, according to historians, one of Livingstone's greatest achievements was also promoting antislavery ideas.
His books told people about the cruelties and horrors slaves had to suffer.
For several years there were no letters from Livingstone and it was decided in London that the explorer was lost.
The two main British newspapers sent the journalist, Henry Stanley, to Africa to find David Livingstone.
Stanley found the explorer in late 1871, and upon seeing him, said the now well - known words, "Dr.
Livingstone, I presume?
"
Livingstone refused to leave his beloved Africa and spent the last years of his life almost cut off from the outside world.
He died in 1873.
Later, his body was transported to London and buried in Westminster Abbey.

Honesty lessonJosh Ferrin worked as an artist for the Deseret News in Salt Lake City, Utah?
Honesty lesson
Josh Ferrin worked as an artist for the Deseret News in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The newspaper has the longest history in the state and the biggest Sunday circulation.
Fresh and original images are definitely an important part of the newspaper’s policy.
So, Josh had a lot of work and hoped that in several years he could save up for a house of his own.
Josh adored his wife and two children.
They spent holidays together travelling in their old car that broke down regularly.
At weekends in winter, they watched their favourite movies in a rented flat that seemed smaller and smaller as the children were growing.
But neither the tiny flat nor the old car could ruin their happiness and mutual understanding.
Once Josh and his wife were watching a TV program about children who lived in an orphanage and needed parents.
They were so deeply moved by the children’s sad life stories that they decided to adopt a child.
The only thing that could stop them was the small flat.
That was the moment Josh started looking for a new house.
Finding a proper house was not an easy thing to do.
They wanted it to be not very expensive, big enough and have some history.
Finally, Josh brought his wife to look at an outdated two - storey house with a large attic.
Though the house
needed repair, there was something about it that made Josh and his wife like it.
The real estate agent told them the story of the previous owner.
He had six children but lived a lonely life in that house and died several years ago.
His children decided to sell the old house and share the money.
When they moved in, they went on exploring the house.
The massive staircases, cosy bedrooms, a large kitchen and an airy living - room were all they could dream of.
The children were running about the house crying out with joy.
The only door that was closed led to the attic below the roof.
The next day when his wife and children were away, Josh managed to unlock the door and decided to inspect the attic.
The dark space was empty, with spiders’ webs hanging in the corners.
Josh turned on the light and noticed a pile of boxes and tins in one of the corners.
A small, broken bike lay nearby.
Josh thought the room would be ideal for his art studio and started cleaning it up.
He threw away several empty boxes when he suddenly found out that all the rest were stuffed with old books.
Josh drew out several books from one of the boxes and found a thick pile of banknotes at the bottom.
When the family returned, Josh called his wife and told her about the treasure he had found.
He also showed her a short notice he had found in the same box.
The message, ‘to my children’, was written on a piece of yellowish paper.
The sum was enough to buy a new car and repair the house for their own growing family and the child the Ferrins wanted to adopt.
The temptation to keep the money was great, but Josh and his wife understood it was not their money.
The next week Josh found the previous owner’s family and handed them the money and the note.
Josh was happy with his career at the newspaper.
