Dodgson was a prolific writer who contributed children's stories, mathematical theses and political pamphlets to a variety of magazines.

Best known for his classics Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and "Jabberwocky," Carroll was also an accomplished inventor who created an early version of what is today known as Scrabble. The publication of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1865 brought Carroll a certain level of fame, although he continued to supplement his income through his work as a mathematics tutor at Christ Church, Oxford College.
