Now what name was that other famous writer, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898) known as. He was actually a mathamatician as well.

The actor Hans Holbrook used to play twain both on stage and TV in 'Mark Twain Tonight'. I read about the rather involved makeup he used sometime ago.

Why, Lewis Carroll, of course. Didn't even have to think about that one.
