Dodgson taught mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford, for twenty-six years but his twin loves were mathematics and logic on the one hand, and little children on the other. He entertained children, photographed them, and went for outings on the river with them. It was during one such river expedition in 1862 that \u003cem data-start=\"741\" data-end=\"762\"\u003eAlice in Wonderland\u003c\/em\u003e was born as narrated to a seven-year-old Alice Liddell. When published in 1865, the book made him famous overnight. The success was repeated with its sequel \u003cem data-start=\"920\" data-end=\"947\"\u003eThrough the Looking Glass\u003c\/em\u003e in 1871. Dodgson, a don and a bachelor, was no doubt a genius but he was also an eccentric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1043\" data-end=\"1357\"\u003eOne of his illustrators, Harry Furniss, has summed up the man as “a wit, a gentleman, a bore and an egotist and like Hans Andersen, a spoilt child”. This book explores the life and works of Lewis Carroll, a master of the art of nonsense, who blended logic, mathematics, and poetry into the most glorious absurdity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1043\" data-end=\"1357\"\u003eBook on\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.in\/Uncrowned-King-Nonsense-Lewis-Carroll\/dp\/B00BG7DF2Q\/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1519126064\u0026amp;sr=8-1-spell\u0026amp;keywords=The+Uncrowned+King+of+Nonsense-+Lewis+Carrol\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"amazon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.indussource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Amazon-e1518700912554.png\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"indussource","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46979998974205,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/1058\/6109\/files\/the-uncrowned-king-of-nonsense_2612367e-eee1-4686-bc22-59f750435825.webp?v=1770123222"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/1058\/6109\/collections\/Indira_1.webp?v=1767087964","url":"https:\/\/www.indussource.com\/collections\/author-indira-kher.oembed","provider":"indussource","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
