It is well-known that Lewis Carroll, the famous author of Alice in Wonderland, was a mathematician and logician.

His contributions to logic include a mature system of diagrams, a subscript notation for categorical propositions, a pioneering method of logic trees, a fabulous set of logical exercises and two paradoxes that have been widely discussed by his successors.

Carroll’s work in mathematics and logic has long been overshadowed by his literary reputation. However, recent decades witnessed a growing interest in Carroll’s serious writings. It is not rare anymore to meet with an isolated paper on Carroll’s logic at international conferences and journals.
