Towards the end of his life, Carroll refused to read his private correspondence because it was addressed to "Lewis Carroll". In those years Carroll became "Charles Dodgson" again.©
A computer from California told: "Alice in Wonderland was not written by Lewis Carroll but the queen Victory of England", because the style of this book did not agree with the mathematician´s style but with his sovereign. Naturally, english people did not believe that notice . Neither did we. But , what do we know about the relationship between the mathematician of Oxford and the queen Victory?: not much.ª
The prince Bertie who was the queen´s son, was a pupil of Carroll in Christ Church College (Oxford).¨
Carroll was fond of photographing and wanted queen Victory to pose for him. (But was unsuccessful).ª
Queen Victory enjoyed a lot reading Alice in Wonderland, and she sended a footnote where she wrote that Carroll had to send her his next work.
