Lewis Carroll, a pen name for Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was born on January 27, 1832, in the parsonage of Daresbury, Cheshire, England.

This book is based on a game of chess and has a precise narrative line, which is even spelled out at the beginning of the book; Alice starts her adventurous journey from First Square as a pawn of Red Queen and progresses to the eighth, whereupon she becomes a
