Writer Lynne Truss chooses the creator of Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll.
Famous for the Alice books, Carroll was also a brilliant mathematician and early photographer.
But his reputation has been clouded by allegations, never substantiated, that he was a repressed paedophile.
Lynne and presenter Matthew Parris try to discover why, despite the millions of words written about him, Carroll still remains a mystery.
With assistance from biographer Robin Wilson.
Producer: Jolyon Jenkins
