Listen to the story about an English writer and answer the questions.

Lewis Carroll’s famous story of the little girl who falls down a rabbit hole has been entertaining the young (and not so young) readers for almost 150 years.

It was probably the first book written not to educate children or give them moral instructions — but to entertain them.

Lewis Carroll was the name used by Charles Dodgson, a mathematics teacher at Oxford University, when he was writing children’s books and poems.

When he became a teacher at Oxford Carroll used to take the daughters of his friend, Dean Liddell, for boat-riders on the river. On one of this river trips he told the story of Alice in Wonderland to young Alice Liddell. Later, he wrote the story down, and it was published in 1865.

As well as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass, Lewis Carroll wrote poems and another children’s book, Sylvie and Bruno. He was also a great letter writer and he invented games and puzzles. As an Oxford don (a teacher at Oxford and Cambridge), he also published mathematical works.
