Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898) is a well-known author under the  pen-name of Lewis Carroll. Dodgson studied at the University of Oxford and became a mathematician. He met the Liddell sisters (Lorina, Alice, and Edith) and found Alice as the muse for a story. Dodgson is most famous for writing Alice in Wonderland. He has also written many other works. 

I find him quite interesting, and there’s plenty of interesting things about him.
