Lewis Carroll (1832-1898), (pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), was an English writer and mathematician, logician, Anglican clergyman and photographer. He is best known for his enduring classics "Alice in Wonderland" (1865) and "Through the Looking Glass" (1875). Though ostensibly children's books, they appeal to all ages.
Sir John Tenniel (1820-1914) was an English illustrator. He drew many topical cartoons and caricatures for Punch in the late 19th century, but is best remembered today for his illustrations for Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass."
