Alice's Adventures in Wonderland began as a story told by Englishman Charles Ludwidge Johnson to three children in a boat, one of which was called Alice and enjoyed it so much she asked him to write it down for her. He did so, under the pseudonym of Lewis Carroll. He was thus releasing a strikingly tale of fantasy, games with logic, and a wildly original play on narrative structure. Today, Alice in Wonderland is the sixth-best-selling single-volume book of all time, and its imagery has had an enormous influence on popular culture and literature. Dive in the original rabbit hole, as told by the entrancing voice of Katie Haigh.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, matemático, lógico y escritor británico más conocido por el seudónimo de Lewis Carroll, nació en Daresbury, Cheshire, en 1832, y murió en Guildford en 1898. Durante cerca de cuarenta años fue profesor de matemáticas en Oxford, y junto con el también lógico George Boole procedió a una axiomatización de la lógica. Pero, sin duda, lo que le ha hecho universalmente conocido son sus historias para niños, historias donde desplegó todo su talento para jugar —y hacernos reflexionar— con el absurdo, el sinsentido y la magia de algunas paradojas lógicas. Carroll, que también gustaba de fotografiar niñas, y que ha dejado una galería de ambiguos retratos infantiles, es autor de Alicia en el país de las maravillas (1865), A través del espejo (1872), La caza del Snark (1876) y Silvia y Bruno (1889).
