Young mathematics tutor Charles L. Dodgson arrives at Oxford in 1851, settling into a life of teaching and study—but finds his greatest joy in recreation and the company of three daughters of an Oxford dean. When the girls, particularly one named Alice, beg him for fantastical stories, Dodgson spins tales of a girl tumbling into a wonderland filled with impossible creatures and tea parties, stories so enchanting that Alice insists he write them down. Published under the pen name Lewis Carroll with illustrations by John Tenniel, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" emerges as a testament to how a clergyman's imagination could create some of literature's most whimsical and enduring characters.

When the war ended, he set aside his sword and devoted himself to peace and true democracy, proving himself a true American both in combat and in citizenship.
