The writer of the book is Lewis Carroll.In fact，Lewis Carroll was not the writer’s real name.His real name was Charles Dodgson.One day，he took a boat ride down the Thames River to have a picnic with three little girls who were friends of the family.To keep them entertained on the ride，he told them a story in which Alice，the middle child，was the main character.They enjoyed the story very much.
