About the Author:

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898), better known as by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, was born in Daresbury, Cheshire. The third of eleven children, Dodgson proved himself an entertainer at a young age, performing plays and giving readings for his many siblings. He was also known for his intellect, and went on to win many academic prizes in school, especially for mathematics. A master of word play, logic puzzles, and later, photography, Dodgson is best known for his two books following the incredible adventures of a young girl named Alice. Begun as a way to entertain three little girls on a boating trip in 1862, today Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass (1872) are among the most quoted works of literature, with unforgettable characters permanently entrenched in our culture.

About the Storyteller:

Sue Ribeiro has lived in Hong Kong for donkey's years, and worked in publishing before helping to establish Bloomsbury Books in 1983. She retired from the bookshop five years ago and enjoys being able to curl up with a good book, dog at feet and cat at elbow, whenever she wants to. Travel, music, gardening and food and wine are other interests.
