Easter Bunny and 'Alice in Wonderland' in Yorkshire

In this world, some are born to only one genre, whether that is their specialty or because they have been constrained by education in a given environment. Still others have achieved extraordinary lives by being versatile in many ways. One of the talented English, a mathematician and logician, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898) is famous for his fantasy literature: ‘Alice in Wonderland’ by his pen name Lewis Carroll.
Dodgson’s (Carroll) original works—‘Alice's Adventures in Wonderland’— has been adapted into films, illustration books, TV comics and performances for many years and attracted children as well as adults a lot. Such an imaginary story written by a mathematician makes me curious about the background and context that he created the fantastic characters in his books. What inspired him and where the ideas come from?


This afternoon I was trying to search the Easter Bunny and taste festival chocolates on York streets as the holiday is approaching and many places are decorated at Easter time. 



Since the weather was quite nice, I then strolled into Yorkshire Museum Garden. Suddenly, it really reminded me some scenarios of 'Alice in Wonderland' in the movie.




When I came home and searched this story, I found that Dodgson was born in Cheshire but his father experienced a career change when Dodgson was 11. Afterwards, his family moved to Croft-on-Tees, a village in North Yorkshire, and lived there for the next 25 years. Obviously, the image of North Yorkshire - the straight-up pretty scenery in England - has incorporated in the settings of his writings.




在這個世界上,有些人只是天生有一種才華,不管這是他們的專長還是因為他們受到特定環境中的教育的束縛。還有一些人憑著各方面多才多藝實現了非凡的生活。數學家兼邏輯學家查理·路德維奇·道奇森(Charles Lutwidge Dodgson)1832-1898)是英國的人才之一,他的筆名叫劉易斯·卡羅爾Lewis Carroll,他的奇幻文學名為愛麗絲夢遊仙境

Dodgson’s (Carroll)
原創作品愛麗絲的仙境冒險多年來已被改編成電影,插畫書,電視卡通和表演,並吸引了兒童以及成年人。這樣一個由數學家編寫的想像故事讓我對他在書中創造出奇妙人物的背景和背景感到好奇。是什麼啟發了他,以及這些想法來自哪裡?

今天下午,我試圖在York街頭搜索復活節兔子和品嚐節日巧克力。由於天氣非常好,我便步入約克郡博物館花園。突然間,這真的讓我想起了電影裡的愛麗絲夢遊仙境的一些情節。


當我回到家中搜尋這個故事時,我發現原來Dodgson出生在柴郡,但他的父親在Dodgson 11歲時經歷了職業變化。之後,他的家人搬到了北約克郡一個村莊:克羅夫特戴斯,並在往後的25年住在那裡. 顯然, 北約克郡的意象 - 英格蘭的真正美好風景已融入他的作品中的場景了。
