>He had many 'child friends' and was an avid photographer, taking pictures of young girls, often nude. Alice's father was the Dean of Christ Church and Dodgson was a close friend of the family until there was a mysterious cooling of relations in 1863, when she was 11. Dodgson hated anyone knowing about his private life and never gave interviews. Following his death in 1898, aged 65, pages from his diaries were censored or destroyed, and not one of his ten brothers and sisters ever spoke about him to outsiders. The man was a pedo. Lauding him as being on the pulse of history is pure bullshit fantasy.
