If you want to learn more about Lewis Carroll, he crops up in several of our summer schools, find out more here: buff.ly/TSdDWhg
#LewisCarroll #AliceInWonderland #GameOfLogic #OxfordUniversity #StEdmundHall
This very special copy of the book was signed by the author and given as a gift to H. P. Liddon (his bust is pictured here), the vice-principal of St Edmund Hall at the time, and has been held by the college ever since.
Despite now being most famous for his literary works, Lewis Carroll was actually a mathematician at Christ Church in Oxford, and in 1886 he published The Game of Logic, a logic-based game aimed at teenagers.
As it's Lewis Carroll day, we wanted to share something very special with you... You've probably already heard about Alice in Wonderland, but did you know about one of Lewis Carroll's (or Charles Lutwidge Dodgson which was his real name!) other works; The Game of Logic?
