You probably know the work of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, who wrote under the pen name Lewis Carroll. He wrote Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, which were later turned into Disney movies. While most people know his work, they don’t know the inspiration behind it.

Dodgson formed a close relationship with a young girl named Alice Liddell, the real Alice in Wonderland. She was the inspiration behind his novels, and their relationship has been heavily criticized.
