This is an update of my post published on January 27, 2011:
A man named Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was born in England on this day in 1832.
Charles Dodgson wasn't all that famous.
He was a logician, mathematician, and photographer, and he wrote A Syllabus of Plane Algebraical Geometry in 1860, which has been described as "excruciatingly dull, fairly derivative, and long forgotten." He tutored math at Oxford University, and he wrote about a dozen more math books - but none of that made him famous.
Instead, the children's books Dodgson wrote under his pen-name, Lewis Carroll, is what made him famous. His books were Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There.Celebrate Lewis Carroll's Birthday and Your Un-birthday!
A very merry unbirthday to you, to you!
Have a tea party, watch one of the versions of Alice in Wonderland, or read one of the Alice books. You could also choose to have a full-scale unbirthday party!
