Who wrote the novel 'Alice in Wonderland'?

Samantha U. Stephenson, Where do you get that Dodgson was a pedophile?!? Also, Carroll is NOT a girl's name spelled thus. CLD was constructing a pen-name, using the Latin for his given name (Charles <--> Carolus) respelled to match an actual English surname, and the Anglicised version of his Germanic middle name (Lutwidge < Ludwig, cogn. Med.Lat. Ludohovicus, Fr. Louis, Eng. Lewis) for a first name. In 19th century Britain, it was not seen as appropriate or respectable for nobility, academics (like Dodgson) or women to write. Hence the rather large number of literary pseudonyms in the age.

What are all of you writing about???? There have been mysteries about Alice and Wonderland, since it was written. The idea of anyone being a pedophile, is a horrible accusation, that I hope you researched and have some concrete proof, otherwise stop showing childish envy! The most classic and interesting theory I have heard was based in the 1970's, when Elton John released his hit Lucy and the Sky with Diamonds (hint: abbreviation being LSD). If you carefully listen to the lyrcs, Elton seems to be describing a part from Alice and Wonderland as well as celebrating the trip one can get from LSD. Personally, I prefer to accept Carroll's own explanation. There was a very real Alice....Carroll's own daughter. Carroll said he wrote the book about his daughter and utilized his own imagination. You know, there are people, who can be totally sober and be so right brained, that they have something simple and oh so precious: an imagination of their own creation! Pity there are so many untalented critics, who can only imagine sick thoughts and drug accusations, to swing at incredible talent, they can't even begin to comprehend. What a pity that these untalented critics only seem to possess a huge dose of envy, rather than a smidgen of talent. Anyone can be a talentless, even lying critic.

BADSANTA0059, Not the first outburst from this person. Not sure why people use a trivia game as their therapy sessions.

Player #9495659, thanks for recognizing Elton's version of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, but it was actually written and recorded by Lennon and McCartney first.

Player #9495659, As much as I agree with you fact checking agrument, I can't just ignore that you should have done some yourself. While it is true that Elton John did do a cover of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds in '75, the song is originally by the Beatles ('67) and written by John Lennon. You are correct about the lyrics mentioning Alice in Wonderland though.

I had the books Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass as a young child . It was something we all read I still have those books 60 years later . Part of my childhood .

Also, great Tom Petty video 😊

"We're all mad here!"

Alan M, no, he was a brilliant, yet somewhat shy man. He was a masterful mathematician as well as writer but I've heard & read a few times he did have a form of Dyslexia. Since I obviously didn't live back then, never meeting him personally, I cannot apply it as a definite fact but I wrote a college research paper on him and he was an amazing man!

InglorionEvershon, samantha would probably be surprised to find out that tbe name marion was actually a man's name... hust ask the duke 😉

batman25/1, I loved those books! Read them to my children. who cares, good books! Peter pan, 101 Dalmations. the

I never liked Alice in Wonderland, it was just too weird!

There's a mystical theme in this fairy tale

SkelligFire, they were talking about LSD in the song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, not the Alice in Wonderland book

I love this movie ❤️🎦

was it not the beatles who sang lucy in the sky with diamonds.

Anyone who puts JK is a muggle

Player #9495659, Didn't John Lennon write "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds?" It's on the " Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" album, previously rated by Rolling Stone Magazine as the best album of all time.

Player #9495659, Lucy in the sky with diamonds was a track by the Beatles ... not Elton John btw 🐰

Kitty Golightly, but then it is spelled “Carol”in English. Also, Pope John Paul II ‘s first name was Carroll, remember he was Polish (translated to English that would be “Charles”)

Does she classify as one of the Disney princesses

Player #9495659, The Beatles released the single "Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds" not Elton John I'm afraid dear.

Player #9495659, The Beatles penned, and sang, Lucy in the Sky. Also, LSD wasn't even around in the time Carroll wrote Alice.

Love this fairytale it was my favourite as kid. It's still my favourite classic fantasy novel to this day

don't need drugs for an imagination, eg. Dr Seuss.

He also wrote "The Jabberwocky" and "The Hunting of the Snark"

InglorionEvershon, Carroll is if it is used as a first name and given to a female

batman25/1, I still have my "Winnie the Pooh" and "House at Pooh Corner" first edition books.

Alice in wonderland is my favourite story!

Lucy in the sky with diamond is recorded on the Beatles Sg Pepper album.

Player #9495659, There is an interesting documentary about it along with significant research about the history with little girls.. you can make your own mind up.

I love Alice through the Looking Glass even more than this.

The Theme for my First Great Granddaughters Baby Shower..the cutest u ever did see

Have u read the non sexist version. Its called Bob in Blunderland by Louise Karrole

Bendy, LSD was not discovered until the late 1940s , the book was written in 1865

FaithfulReader, This game is free, therapy costs

paraic, there's a reason there is a law against that..

Is it true that he was high as a kite when he wrote it?
