About the Author

Lewis Carroll (Author)
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll, was an English writer, logician and mathematician. Born in 1832, he is best known for the novels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, as well as his nonsense poems. The character of Alice was in fact based on a real child, Alice Liddell, daughter of the dean of Christ Church, Oxford, where Carroll taught mathematics. Many of the adventures in Wonderland are thought to be based on a picnic with Alice and her two sisters.

By the time of Carroll's death in 1898, Alice in Wonderland was one of the most popular books in the English language, and it continues to be so to this day.

Grahame Baker-Smith (Illustrator)
Grahame is a self-taught illustrator from Oxford who completed his training at Berkshire School of Art. He has worked in illustration for twenty years and in 2011 won the Greenaway Medal for his inspiring tale of fatherhood, FARTHER. He has illustrated numerous other picture books for Templar, including The Rhythm of the Rain which won the English 4-11 Picture Book Awards and the Greenaway shortlisted Leon and the Place Between.
