Restano ormai famosi i personaggi del Cappellaio Matto, il Gatto del Cheshire, la Regina di cuori e molti altri.

I suoi studi lo portano a dedicare molti trattati alla matematica pura, scienza che utilizzera spesso anche nei suoi racconti per provare quanto assurda e incoerente possa essere la vita degli adulti, utilizzando la cifra stilistica dellironia. Alice nel paese delle meraviglie (Alices adventures in Wonderland) e Attraverso lo specchio (Through the looking-glass) restano i suoi racconti piu famosi. Muore a Guildford, Surrey, nel 1898.

During the trip the Reverend Dodgson told the girls a story that featured a bored little girl named Alice who goes looking for an adventure.The girls loved it, and Alice Liddell asked Dodgson to write it down for her. He began writing the manuscript of the story the next day, although that earliest version no longer exists. The girls and Dodgson took another boat trip a month later when he elaborated the plot to the story of Alice, and in November he began working on the manuscript in earnest.Lewis Carrolls first appearance of Alices Adventures in Wonderland was a much shorter work titled Alices Adventures Under Ground. Although the final product is well known for John Tenniels memorable illustrations, Carroll himself illustrated his original manuscript. In fact, many of Tenniels illustrations were actually based on Carrolls own. Carroll gave the original, handwritten manuscript to Alice Liddell, the girl for whom his heroine was named.

A través del Espejo y lo que Alicia encontró allí puede parecer una obra disparatada, tal vez más que su primera parte, Las aventuras de Alicia en el País de las Maravillas. Incluso su lectura podría marear un poco al principio, pero esta historia tan descabellada va cobrando cierto sentido cuando vislumbramos como bien escribio Jorge Luis Borges que entraña "el secreto rigor del ajedrez", asi como el primer libro encerro el de la baraja. Aun yendo mas a fondo, el sentido se nos revela al fin cuando entrevemos que gran parte de los acontecimientos que aqui ocurren, se nos manifiestan como reflejados en un espejo.Quedan cordialmente invitados a explorar ese mundo del Espejo, un mundo de sueños. Esos sueños que, en palabras de Borges, "forman parte de nuestra felicidad".
