My Godfather's Disclaimer

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson

a/k/a


Lewis Carroll


as the latter, he wrote 
Alice in Wonderland


 



In 1890,when he received letters addressed to 
‘CL Dodgson’  talking about Lewis Carroll 
he returned them with a notice...
called the Stranger Circular.
 

This notice, written from Christ Church College 
at the University of Oxford, said: 

“Mr Dodgson . . . neither claims nor 
acknowledges any connection with 
any pseudonym or with any book 
not published under his own name.”

    1. But the wonderland
      of his imagination
      will never expire.

      It will only inspire.
