CARROLL, LewisAlthough a brilliant mathematician, lecturer, photographer and scholar, he is best known for his literary work.
Inspired by a river expedition with the three Liddell sisters in 1862, Carroll wrote the fantasy Alice in Wonderland.
Complete with rabbits rushing down holes, a mad hatter and hookah-smoking caterpillar, the fantasy tale has delighted children and adults alike for generations.
The Alice stories are some of the most widely and most frequently translated works, apart from the Bible and Shakespeare.
They have been translated into more than 70 languages, including Swahili and Yiddish.
