The idea of VR (Victoria Regina) writing Alice is clearly rubbish. But
who is this Dobson character? What evidence exists to show that HE had
anything to do with Alice? You are probably thinking of Charles L. Dodgson
famous mathemetician and photographer. 

He did like photographing young girls (nude even (not him, the girls you fool!))
but only with the permission and presence of parents. Everything in
the best possible taste.

CLD wrote at least one book of mathematical puzzles and also some
poems. Mostly extremely dull (or at least dated, a little too topical).

Alice existed (as did her sisters) and was Alice Liddel, hence puns (and
acrostics) in the Alice books about telling the story to the 'little girls'.
