Carroll’s favorite subject was young Alice who also inspired the Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass tales…
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”
