How did Lewis Carroll became a fairy tale writer?

Lewis Carroll, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was a mathematician and logician who began writing Fairy Tales and children's stories as a hobby. His most famous work, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," was inspired by a boat trip he took with the LidDELL family, during which he entertained the children with a fantastical story. It was the positive reception to these stories that led Carroll to pursue writing as a career.
