Lewis carrolls life and influence in ALice in Wonderland
Of all of Lewis Carroll's works, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has a unique standing in the category of whimsical, nonsense literature.

She was the inspiration for his writing and for the sequel to the novel, Through the Looking Glass. One last parallel between Carroll's life and the novel is the use of many puzzles, mathematics, games, and riddles throughout Alice's experiences in Wonderland. 18 of Dictionary Literary Biography.
