The story of the 1865 edition begins on 4 July 1862 when Charles Dodgson (alias Lewis Carroll), along with a friend The Rev Robinson Duckworth, took the three daughters of Dean Liddell of Christ Church, Oxford — Lorina, Alice and Edith — on a boat trip on the Thames. During the afternoon he related the first parts of Alice’s Adventures Under Ground, the precursor to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. On their return, Alice asked him to write down the story.

More information and images can be found on our website: http://talesofcuriosity.com/v/The_Rather_Curious_History_Of_Alice/ Beneath is abridged text from our site:
It is July 4th 1862, Charles Dodgson and Robinson Duckworth take a small boat out for a row on the River Isis. Their companions are three young sisters. During the trip Dodgson tells the children a story about a girl named Alice and her strange and wonderful adventures.
The children love the story and beg Dodgson to write it down. Luckily for us he did as it became "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland".
The girls are named Edith, Lorina and Alice Liddell. Their father is Henry Liddell. He is the Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, where Charles Dodgson works lecturing in Mathematics.
November 26th, 1864 Dodgson gives Alice Liddell a handwritten copy of "Alice's Adventures Under Ground".
A year later, in 1865 "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is published. It is a big hit and has never been out of print since. Some of the earliest fans include Queen Victoria and a young Oscar Wilde.
In 1871, Dodgson publishes a sequel "Through The Looking Glass And What Alice Found There". An inspiration for the second book is a conversation Charles Dodgson had with another girl named Alice, his cousin's daughter Alice Raikes.
The original drawings for both books are by John Tenniel. They are considered to be amongst the greatest literary illustrations ever. The physical similarity between John Tenniel and his portrayal of the White Knight are very striking. Although he continues creating a great many political cartoons Tenniel writes:
"It is a curious fact that with 'Looking-Glass' the faculty of making drawings for book illustrations departed from me, and I have done nothing in that direction since"
Tenniel will serve over 50 years as political cartoonist for "Punch". In 1893 John Tenniel is knighted by Queen Victoria. He is the first illustrator or cartoonist to receive the honor. February 25th, 1914 Tenniel dies in London aged 93. He is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery.
The pen name "Lewis Carroll" is made by a very complicated word play including translating "Charles Lutwidge Dodgson" into and back out of Latin. Dodgson spends his entire adult life in Christ Church, Oxford. Firstly as a student and then as a lecturer. Dodgson suffers from health issues. He is deaf in one ear, and has a very weak chest. He also has a stutter. Dodgson portrays himself as the Dodo. This may be due to his stammer that meant that he sometimes calls himself "Do-do-dodgson".
Both the Alice books are full of wordplay and also references to mathematical concepts and logic. Dodgson is a gifted amateur photographer, he also publishes various mathematical books using his real name. January 14th, 1898 Charles Dodgson dies of pneumonia aged 65. He is buried in The Mount Cemetery, Guildford.
Meanwhile, Alice Liddell grows up in Oxford with her sisters and September 15th, 1880 she marries Reginald Hargreaves in Westminster Abbey. Her husband is a wealthy cricketer and Alice will become a society hostess.
November 16th, 1934 Alice Hargreaves dies and her ashes are buried at St. Michael and All Angels, Lyndhurst.
The Other Members Of The Boat Party
Lorina Liddell marries William Skene Feb 7th, 1874 and dies Oct 28th, 1930 aged 81.
June 26th, 1876 Edith Liddell dies aged just 22. She is remembered in a window in Oxford.
The Rev. Portrait Of Robinson Duckworth is appointed Canon of Westminster and a chaplain to both Queen Victoria and Edward VII. He dies September 20th, 1911 and is buried in the Quire of Westminster Abbey.
Alice had kept the handwritten "Alice's Adventures Under Ground" which Charles Dodgson had given her, but after her husband's death in 1926 she sold it to pay household expenses. Now owned by Eldridge R. Johnson the manuscript travels to America and is displayed at Columbia University.
After the death of Eldridge R. Johnson a group of Americans buy the manuscript and present it to Britain.
" ... in recognition of Britain's courage in facing Hitler before America came into the war ..."
The original manuscript of "Alice's Adventures Under Ground" is now housed in the British Library. And as for Alice and the two books' other characters, they are as popular now as ever they were!

Lewis Carroll - Alice Liddell
On July 4, 1862, the shy, deeply religious Charles Lutwidge Dodgson Lewis Carroll (1832-1898), together with his fellow Oxford don, Robinson Duckworth, took the three Liddell sisters (Alice, Ina and Edith, daughters of the Dean of Christ Church) on what was perhaps the most famous picnic of all time Duckworth and I made an expedition up the river to Godstow with the three Liddells; we had tea on the bank there, and did not reach Christ Church again til quarter past eightOn which occasion, I told them the fairy-tale of Alices Adventures Under Ground So was created initially just for Alice, and with no thought for its future life perhaps the worlds most famous and best-loved childrens story. It is now so much part of our heritage that it is difficult to comprehend how revolutionary this story was in its conception and execution. In modern times, it is said, Lewis Carroll is second only to the Bible and Shakespeare in the number of times quotations from the Alice books and his other works appear in our literary or common discourse.
As the inspiration for the Alice stories, Alice Pleasance Liddell (1852-1934) has a unique place in literary history. But Dodgson himself also practiced another art in addition to writing, one that has been fully appreciated only in recent years: the as it then was pioneering and painstaking art of photography. And if Alice, with her pure, unclouded brow and dreaming eyes of wonder (Dodgson) was his Muse for his greatest literary works, she was equally so as his model for some of the most touching and enchanting pictures ever produced in this medium. It was, of course, through photography that Dodgson first met Alice on April 25, 1856, when he went with Southey to the Deanery to take a photograph of the Cathedral.
On November 26, 1864 Dodgson presented to Alice the manuscript of Alices Adventures Under Ground. In April 1928, four years before her death, Alice Liddell sold this manuscript together with a few other items from her collection at Sothebys in New Bond Street where it was sold for the record price of the £15,400 (the equivalent of over $75,000 at that time) to an American collector. Some years later a group of American bibliophiles banded together to re-acquire the manuscript and present it to the British nation, in gratitude to a noble people who held Hitler at bay for a long period single-handed. It now resides in the British Library.

Alice was written in 1865, exactly three years after the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and the Reverend Robinson Duckworth rowed in a boat up the River Thames with three young girls:[4]
Lorina Charlotte Liddell (aged 13, born 1849) ("Prima" in the book's prefatory verse)
Alice Pleasance Liddell (aged 10, born 1852) ("Secunda" in the prefatory verse)
Edith Mary Liddell (aged 8, born 1853) ("Tertia" in the prefatory verse).
The three girls were the daughters of Henry George Liddell, the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University and Dean of Christ Church as well as headmaster of Westminster School. Most of the book's adventures were based on and influenced by people, situations and buildings in Oxford and at Christ Church, e.g., the "Rabbit Hole" which symbolized the actual stairs in the back of the main hall in Christ Church. It is believed that a carving of a griffon and rabbit, as seen in Ripon Cathedral, where Carroll's father was a canon, provided inspiration for the tale.[5]
The journey had started at Folly Bridge near Oxford and ended five miles away in the village of Godstow. To while away time the Reverend Dodgson told the girls a story that, not so coincidentally, featured a bored little girl named Alice who goes looking for an adventure.
The girls loved it, and Alice Liddell asked Dodgson to write it down for her. After a lengthy delay — over two years — he eventually did so and on 26 November 1864 gave Alice the handwritten manuscript of Alice's Adventures Under Ground, with illustrations by Dodgson himself. Some, including Martin Gardner, speculate there was an earlier version that was destroyed later by Dodgson himself when he printed a more elaborate copy by hand[6], but there is no known prima facie evidence to support this.

More about Alice's Adventures in Wonderland -
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world (Wonderland) populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre,and its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.
Alice was published in 1865, three years after the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and the Reverend Robinson Duckworth rowed in a boat, on 4 July 1862, up the Isis with the three young daughters of Henry Liddell (the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University and Dean of Christ Church): Lorina Charlotte Liddell (aged 13, born 1849) ("Prima" in the book's prefatory verse); Alice Pleasance Liddell (aged 10, born 1852) ("Secunda" in the prefatory verse); Edith Mary Liddell (aged 8, born 1853) ("Tertia" in the prefatory verse).

During the trip the Reverend Dodgson told the girls a story that featured a bored little girl named Alice who goes looking for an adventure. The girls loved it, and Alice Liddell asked Dodgson to write it down for her. He began writing the manuscript of the story the next day, although that earliest version no longer exists. The girls and Dodgson took another boat trip a month later when he elaborated the plot to the story of Alice, and in November he began working on the manuscript in earnest.
To add the finishing touches he researched natural history for the animals presented in the book, and then had the book examined by other children—particularly the children of George MacDonald. He added his own illustrations but approached John Tenniel to illustrate the book for publication, telling him that the story had been well liked by children.
On 26 November 1864 he gave Alice the handwritten manuscript of Alice's Adventures Under Ground, with illustrations by Dodgson himself, dedicating it as "A Christmas Gift to a Dear Child in Memory of a Summer's Day". Some, including Martin Gardner, speculate there was an earlier version that was destroyed later by Dodgson when he wrote a more elaborate copy by hand.
But before Alice received her copy, Dodgson was already preparing it for publication and expanding the 15,500-word original to 27,500 words,most notably adding the episodes about the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Tea-Party. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia. org)

Robinson Duckworth
The Reverend Robinson Duckworth DD, CVO, VD, (4 December 1834 – 20 September 1911) was present on the original boating expedition of 4 July 1862 during which Alice's Adventures were first told by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson). He is represented by the Duck in the book, a play on his last name.
He officiated at the funeral of Charles Darwin in 1882.
Duckworth was the second son of Robinson Duckworth Sr of Liverpool and his wife Elizabeth. He was educated at the Royal Institution School in Liverpool, and later at University College, Oxford, where he took his BA in 1857. He was a member of the Oxford Choral Society and a renowned singer. He took his MA in 1859, and his BD and DD in 1879. He was an Assistant Master at Marlborough College from 1857 to 1860. From 1860 to 1876 he was a Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford, where, from 1866 to 1870, he was Instructor and Governor to Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, Queen Victoria's youngest son. In 1864 he was appointed Examining Chaplain to the Bishop of Peterborough.

Lewis Carroll
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (/ˈtʃɑːrlz ˈlʌtwɪdʒ ˈdɒdsən/; 27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898), better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll (/ˈkærəl/), was an English writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon, and photographer. His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, which includes the poem Jabberwocky, and the poem The Hunting of the Snark, all examples of the genre of literary nonsense. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy. There are societies in many parts of the world dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of his works and the investigation of his life.
Antecedents
Dodgson's family was predominantly northern English, with Irish connections, conservative and High Church Anglican. Most of Dodgson's male ancestors were army officers or Church of England clergy. His great-grandfather, also named Charles Dodgson, had risen through the ranks of the church to become the Bishop of Elphin. His paternal grandfather, another Charles, had been an army captain, killed in action in Ireland in 1803 when his two sons were hardly more than babies. The older of these sons – yet another Charles Dodgson – was Carroll's father. He went to Westminster School and then to Christ Church, Oxford. He reverted to the other family tradition and took holy orders. He was mathematically gifted and won a double first degree, which could have been the prelude to a brilliant academic career. Instead, he married his first cousin Frances Jane Lutwidge in 1827 and became a country parson.

The story of the 1865 edition begins on 4 July 1862 when Charles Dodgson (alias Lewis Carroll), along with a friend The Rev Robinson Duckworth, took the three daughters of Dean Liddell of Christ Church, Oxford — Lorina, Alice and Edith — on a boat trip on the Thames. During the afternoon he related the first parts of Alice’s Adventures Under Ground, the precursor to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. On their return, Alice asked him to write down the story.

The Rather Curious History Of AliceThe Rather Curious History Of Alice
More information and images can be found on our website: http://talesofcuriosity.com/v/The_Rather_Curious_History_Of_Alice/ Beneath is abridged text from our site: It is July 4th 1862, Charles Dodgson and Robinson Duckworth take a small boat out for a row on the River Isis. Their companions are three young sisters. During the trip Dodgson tells the children a story about a girl named Alice and her strange and wonderful adventures. The children love the story and beg Dodgson to write it down. Luckily for us he did as it became "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland". The girls are named Edith, Lorina and Alice Liddell. Their father is Henry Liddell. He is the Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, where Charles Dodgson works lecturing in Mathematics. November 26th, 1864 Dodgson gives Alice Liddell a handwritten copy of "Alice's Adventures Under Ground". A year later, in 1865 "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is published. It is a big hit and has never been out of print since. Some of the earliest fans include Queen Victoria and a young Oscar Wilde. In 1871, Dodgson publishes a sequel "Through The Looking Glass And What Alice Found There". An inspiration for the second book is a conversation Charles Dodgson had with another girl named Alice, his cousin's daughter Alice Raikes. The original drawings for both books are by John Tenniel. They are considered to be amongst the greatest literary illustrations ever. The physical similarity between John Tenniel and his portrayal of the White Knight are very striking. Although he continues creating a great many political cartoons Tenniel writes: "It is a curious fact that with 'Looking-Glass' the faculty of making drawings for book illustrations departed from me, and I have done nothing in that direction since" Tenniel will serve over 50 years as political cartoonist for "Punch". In 1893 John Tenniel is knighted by Queen Victoria. He is the first illustrator or cartoonist to receive the honor. February 25th, 1914 Tenniel dies in London aged 93. He is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery. The pen name "Lewis Carroll" is made by a very complicated word play including translating "Charles Lutwidge Dodgson" into and back out of Latin. Dodgson spends his entire adult life in Christ Church, Oxford. Firstly as a student and then as a lecturer. Dodgson suffers from health issues. He is deaf in one ear, and has a very weak chest. He also has a stutter. Dodgson portrays himself as the Dodo. This may be due to his stammer that meant that he sometimes calls himself "Do-do-dodgson". Both the Alice books are full of wordplay and also references to mathematical concepts and logic. Dodgson is a gifted amateur photographer, he also publishes various mathematical books using his real name. January 14th, 1898 Charles Dodgson dies of pneumonia aged 65. He is buried in The Mount Cemetery, Guildford. Meanwhile, Alice Liddell grows up in Oxford with her sisters and September 15th, 1880 she marries Reginald Hargreaves in Westminster Abbey. Her husband is a wealthy cricketer and Alice will become a society hostess. November 16th, 1934 Alice Hargreaves dies and her ashes are buried at St. Michael and All Angels, Lyndhurst. The Other Members Of The Boat Party Lorina Liddell marries William Skene Feb 7th, 1874 and dies Oct 28th, 1930 aged 81. June 26th, 1876 Edith Liddell dies aged just 22. She is remembered in a window in Oxford. The Rev. Portrait Of Robinson Duckworth is appointed Canon of Westminster and a chaplain to both Queen Victoria and Edward VII. He dies September 20th, 1911 and is buried in the Quire of Westminster Abbey. Alice had kept the handwritten "Alice's Adventures Under Ground" which Charles Dodgson had given her, but after her husband's death in 1926 she sold it to pay household expenses. Now owned by Eldridge R. Johnson the manuscript travels to America and is displayed at Columbia University. After the death of Eldridge R. Johnson a group of Americans buy the manuscript and present it to Britain. " ... in recognition of Britain's courage in facing Hitler before America came into the war ..."

Profiles in History Presents: Auction 38 The Patrick McInally Collection of Children's Literature The Lewis Carroll Collection December 16, 2009 Lewis Carroll - Alice Liddell On July 4, 1862, the shy, deeply religious Charles Lutwidge Dodgson Lewis Carroll (1832-1898), together with his fellow Oxford don, Robinson Duckworth, took the three Liddell sisters (Alice, Ina and Edith, daughters of the Dean of Christ Church) on what was perhaps the most famous picnic of all time Duckworth and I made an expedition up the river to Godstow with the three Liddells; we had tea on the bank there, and did not reach Christ Church again til quarter past eightOn which occasion, I told them the fairy-tale of Alices Adventures Under Ground So was created initially just for Alice, and with no thought for its future life perhaps the worlds most famous and best-loved childrens story. It is now so much part of our heritage that it is difficult to comprehend how revolutionary this story was in its conception and execution. In modern times, it is said, Lewis Carroll is second only to the Bible and Shakespeare in the number of times quotations from the Alice books and his other works appear in our literary or common discourse. As the inspiration for the Alice stories, Alice Pleasance Liddell (1852-1934) has a unique place in literary history. But Dodgson himself also practiced another art in addition to writing, one that has been fully appreciated only in recent years: the as it then was pioneering and painstaking art of photography. And if Alice, with her pure, unclouded brow and dreaming eyes of wonder (Dodgson) was his Muse for his greatest literary works, she was equally so as his model for some of the most touching and enchanting pictures ever produced in this medium. It was, of course, through photography that Dodgson first met Alice on April 25, 1856, when he went with Southey to the Deanery to take a photograph of the Cathedral. On November 26, 1864 Dodgson presented to Alice the manuscript of Alices Adventures Under Ground. In April 1928, four years before her death, Alice Liddell sold this manuscript together with a few other items from her collection at Sothebys in New Bond Street where it was sold for the record price of the £15,400 (the equivalent of over $75,000 at that time) to an American collector. Some years later a group of American bibliophiles banded together to re-acquire the manuscript and present it to the British nation, in gratitude to a noble people who held Hitler at bay for a long period single-handed. It now resides in the British Library.

6:54Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Alice's Adventures in WonderlandAlice's Adventures in Wonderland
Alice was written in 1865, exactly three years after the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and the Reverend Robinson Duckworth rowed in a boat up the River Thames with three young girls:[4] Lorina Charlotte Liddell (aged 13, born 1849) ("Prima" in the book's prefatory verse) Alice Pleasance Liddell (aged 10, born 1852) ("Secunda" in the prefatory verse) Edith Mary Liddell (aged 8, born 1853) ("Tertia" in the prefatory verse). The three girls were the daughters of Henry George Liddell, the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University and Dean of Christ Church as well as headmaster of Westminster School. Most of the book's adventures were based on and influenced by people, situations and buildings in Oxford and at Christ Church, e.g., the "Rabbit Hole" which symbolized the actual stairs in the back of the main hall in Christ Church. It is believed that a carving of a griffon and rabbit, as seen in Ripon Cathedral, where Carroll's father was a canon, provided inspiration for the tale.[5] The journey had started at Folly Bridge near Oxford and ended five miles away in the village of Godstow. To while away time the Reverend Dodgson told the girls a story that, not so coincidentally, featured a bored little girl named Alice who goes looking for an adventure. The girls loved it, and Alice Liddell asked Dodgson to write it down for her. After a lengthy delay — over two years — he eventually did so and on 26 November 1864 gave Alice the handwritten manuscript of Alice's Adventures Under Ground, with illustrations by Dodgson himself. Some, including Martin Gardner, speculate there was an earlier version that was destroyed later by Dodgson himself when he printed a more elaborate copy by hand[6], but there is no known prima facie evidence to support this.

The girls and Dodgson took another boat trip a month later when he elaborated the plot to the story of Alice, and in November he began working on the manuscript in earnest. To add the finishing touches he researched natural history for the animals presented in the book, and then had the book examined by other children—particularly the children of George MacDonald. He added his own illustrations but approached John Tenniel to illustrate the book for publication, telling him that the story had been well liked by children. On 26 November 1864 he gave Alice the handwritten manuscript of Alice's Adventures Under Ground, with illustrations by Dodgson himself, dedicating it as "A Christmas Gift to a Dear Child in Memory of a Summer's Day". Some, including Martin Gardner, speculate there was an earlier version that was destroyed later by Dodgson when he wrote a more elaborate copy by hand. But before Alice received her copy, Dodgson was already preparing it for publication and expanding the 15,500-word original to 27,500 words,most notably adding the episodes about the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Tea-Party.

More information and images can be found on our website: http://talesofcuriosity.com/v/The_Rather_Curious_History_Of_Alice/ Beneath is abridged text from our site:
It is July 4th 1862, Charles Dodgson and Robinson Duckworth take a small boat out for a row on the River Isis. Their companions are three young sisters. During the trip Dodgson tells the children a story about a girl named Alice and her strange and wonderful adventures.
The children love the story and beg Dodgson to write it down. Luckily for us he did as it became "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland".
The girls are named Edith, Lorina and Alice Liddell. Their father is Henry Liddell. He is the Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, where Charles Dodgson works lecturing in Mathematics.
November 26th, 1864 Dodgson gives Alice Liddell a handwritten copy of "Alice's Adventures Under Ground".
A year later, in 1865 "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is published. It is a big hit and has never been out of print since. Some of the earliest fans include Queen Victoria and a young Oscar Wilde.
In 1871, Dodgson publishes a sequel "Through The Looking Glass And What Alice Found There". An inspiration for the second book is a conversation Charles Dodgson had with another girl named Alice, his cousin's daughter Alice Raikes.
The original drawings for both books are by John Tenniel. They are considered to be amongst the greatest literary illustrations ever. The physical similarity between John Tenniel and his portrayal of the White Knight are very striking. Although he continues creating a great many political cartoons Tenniel writes:
"It is a curious fact that with 'Looking-Glass' the faculty of making drawings for book illustrations departed from me, and I have done nothing in that direction since"
Tenniel will serve over 50 years as political cartoonist for "Punch". In 1893 John Tenniel is knighted by Queen Victoria. He is the first illustrator or cartoonist to receive the honor. February 25th, 1914 Tenniel dies in London aged 93. He is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery.
The pen name "Lewis Carroll" is made by a very complicated word play including translating "Charles Lutwidge Dodgson" into and back out of Latin. Dodgson spends his entire adult life in Christ Church, Oxford. Firstly as a student and then as a lecturer. Dodgson suffers from health issues. He is deaf in one ear, and has a very weak chest. He also has a stutter. Dodgson portrays himself as the Dodo. This may be due to his stammer that meant that he sometimes calls himself "Do-do-dodgson".
Both the Alice books are full of wordplay and also references to mathematical concepts and logic. Dodgson is a gifted amateur photographer, he also publishes various mathematical books using his real name. January 14th, 1898 Charles Dodgson dies of pneumonia aged 65. He is buried in The Mount Cemetery, Guildford.
Meanwhile, Alice Liddell grows up in Oxford with her sisters and September 15th, 1880 she marries Reginald Hargreaves in Westminster Abbey. Her husband is a wealthy cricketer and Alice will become a society hostess.
November 16th, 1934 Alice Hargreaves dies and her ashes are buried at St. Michael and All Angels, Lyndhurst.

More information and images can be found on our website: http://talesofcuriosity.com/v/The_Rather_Curious_History_Of_Alice/ Beneath is abridged text from our site:
It is July 4th 1862, Charles Dodgson and Robinson Duckworth take a small boat out for a row on the River Isis. Their companions are three young sisters. During the trip Dodgson tells the children a story about a girl named Alice and her strange and wonderful adventures.
The children love the story and beg Dodgson to write it down. Luckily for us he did as it became "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland".
The girls are named Edith, Lorina and Alice Liddell. Their father is Henry Liddell. He is the Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, where Charles Dodgson works lecturing in Mathematics.
November 26th, 1864 Dodgson gives Alice Liddell a handwritten copy of "Alice's Adventures Under Ground".
A year later, in 1865 "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is published. It is a big hit and has never been out of print since. Some of the earliest fans include Queen Victoria and a young Oscar Wilde.
In 1871, Dodgson publishes a sequel "Through The Looking Glass And What Alice Found There". An inspiration for the second book is a conversation Charles Dodgson had with another girl named Alice, his cousin's daughter Alice Raikes.
The original drawings for both books are by John Tenniel. They are considered to be amongst the greatest literary illustrations ever. The physical similarity between John Tenniel and his portrayal of the White Knight are very striking. Although he continues creating a great many political cartoons Tenniel writes:
"It is a curious fact that with 'Looking-Glass' the faculty of making drawings for book illustrations departed from me, and I have done nothing in that direction since"
Tenniel will serve over 50 years as political cartoonist for "Punch". In 1893 John Tenniel is knighted by Queen Victoria. He is the first illustrator or cartoonist to receive the honor. February 25th, 1914 Tenniel dies in London aged 93. He is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery.
The pen name "Lewis Carroll" is made by a very complicated word play including translating "Charles Lutwidge Dodgson" into and back out of Latin. Dodgson spends his entire adult life in Christ Church, Oxford. Firstly as a student and then as a lecturer. Dodgson suffers from health issues. He is deaf in one ear, and has a very weak chest. He also has a stutter. Dodgson portrays himself as the Dodo. This may be due to his stammer that meant that he sometimes calls himself "Do-do-dodgson".
Both the Alice books are full of wordplay and also references to mathematical concepts and logic. Dodgson is a gifted amateur photographer, he also publishes various mathematical books using his real name. January 14th, 1898 Charles Dodgson dies of pneumonia aged 65. He is buried in The Mount Cemetery, Guildford.
Meanwhile, Alice Liddell grows up in Oxford with her sisters and September 15th, 1880 she marries Reginald Hargreaves in Westminster Abbey. Her husband is a wealthy cricketer and Alice will become a society hostess.
November 16th, 1934 Alice Hargreaves dies and her ashes are buried at St. Michael and All Angels, Lyndhurst.

Lewis Carroll - Alice Liddell
On July 4, 1862, the shy, deeply religious Charles Lutwidge Dodgson Lewis Carroll (1832-1898), together with his fellow Oxford don, Robinson Duckworth, took the three Liddell sisters (Alice, Ina and Edith, daughters of the Dean of Christ Church) on what was perhaps the most famous picnic of all time Duckworth and I made an expedition up the river to Godstow with the three Liddells; we had tea on the bank there, and did not reach Christ Church again til quarter past eightOn which occasion, I told them the fairy-tale of Alices Adventures Under Ground So was created initially just for Alice, and with no thought for its future life perhaps the worlds most famous and best-loved childrens story. It is now so much part of our heritage that it is difficult to comprehend how revolutionary this story was in its conception and execution. In modern times, it is said, Lewis Carroll is second only to the Bible and Shakespeare in the number of times quotations from the Alice books and his other works appear in our literary or common discourse.
As the inspiration for the Alice stories, Alice Pleasance Liddell (1852-1934) has a unique place in literary history. But Dodgson himself also practiced another art in addition to writing, one that has been fully appreciated only in recent years: the as it then was pioneering and painstaking art of photography. And if Alice, with her pure, unclouded brow and dreaming eyes of wonder (Dodgson) was his Muse for his greatest literary works, she was equally so as his model for some of the most touching and enchanting pictures ever produced in this medium. It was, of course, through photography that Dodgson first met Alice on April 25, 1856, when he went with Southey to the Deanery to take a photograph of the Cathedral.
On November 26, 1864 Dodgson presented to Alice the manuscript of Alices Adventures Under Ground. In April 1928, four years before her death, Alice Liddell sold this manuscript together with a few other items from her collection at Sothebys in New Bond Street where it was sold for the record price of the £15,400 (the equivalent of over $75,000 at that time) to an American collector. Some years later a group of American bibliophiles banded together to re-acquire the manuscript and present it to the British nation, in gratitude to a noble people who held Hitler at bay for a long period single-handed. It now resides in the British Library.

Alice was written in 1865, exactly three years after the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and the Reverend Robinson Duckworth rowed in a boat up the River Thames with three young girls:[4]
Lorina Charlotte Liddell (aged 13, born 1849) ("Prima" in the book's prefatory verse)
Alice Pleasance Liddell (aged 10, born 1852) ("Secunda" in the prefatory verse)
Edith Mary Liddell (aged 8, born 1853) ("Tertia" in the prefatory verse).
The three girls were the daughters of Henry George Liddell, the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University and Dean of Christ Church as well as headmaster of Westminster School. Most of the book's adventures were based on and influenced by people, situations and buildings in Oxford and at Christ Church, e.g., the "Rabbit Hole" which symbolized the actual stairs in the back of the main hall in Christ Church. It is believed that a carving of a griffon and rabbit, as seen in Ripon Cathedral, where Carroll's father was a canon, provided inspiration for the tale.[5]
The journey had started at Folly Bridge near Oxford and ended five miles away in the village of Godstow. To while away time the Reverend Dodgson told the girls a story that, not so coincidentally, featured a bored little girl named Alice who goes looking for an adventure.
The girls loved it, and Alice Liddell asked Dodgson to write it down for her. After a lengthy delay — over two years — he eventually did so and on 26 November 1864 gave Alice the handwritten manuscript of Alice's Adventures Under Ground, with illustrations by Dodgson himself. Some, including Martin Gardner, speculate there was an earlier version that was destroyed later by Dodgson himself when he printed a more elaborate copy by hand[6], but there is no known prima facie evidence to support this.

More about Alice's Adventures in Wonderland -
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world (Wonderland) populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre,and its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.
Alice was published in 1865, three years after the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and the Reverend Robinson Duckworth rowed in a boat, on 4 July 1862, up the Isis with the three young daughters of Henry Liddell (the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University and Dean of Christ Church): Lorina Charlotte Liddell (aged 13, born 1849) ("Prima" in the book's prefatory verse); Alice Pleasance Liddell (aged 10, born 1852) ("Secunda" in the prefatory verse); Edith Mary Liddell (aged 8, born 1853) ("Tertia" in the prefatory verse).
The journey began at Folly Bridge near Oxford and ended five miles away in the village of Godstow. During the trip the Reverend Dodgson told the girls a story that featured a bored little girl named Alice who goes looking for an adventure. The girls loved it, and Alice Liddell asked Dodgson to write it down for her. He began writing the manuscript of the story the next day, although that earliest version no longer exists. The girls and Dodgson took another boat trip a month later when he elaborated the plot to the story of Alice, and in November he began working on the manuscript in earnest.
To add the finishing touches he researched natural history for the animals presented in the book, and then had the book examined by other children—particularly the children of George MacDonald. He added his own illustrations but approached John Tenniel to illustrate the book for publication, telling him that the story had been well liked by children.
On 26 November 1864 he gave Alice the handwritten manuscript of Alice's Adventures Under Ground, with illustrations by Dodgson himself, dedicating it as "A Christmas Gift to a Dear Child in Memory of a Summer's Day". Some, including Martin Gardner, speculate there was an earlier version that was destroyed later by Dodgson when he wrote a more elaborate copy by hand.
But before Alice received her copy, Dodgson was already preparing it for publication and expanding the 15,500-word original to 27,500 words,most notably adding the episodes about the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Tea-Party. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia. org)

Alice was published in 1865, three years after Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and the Reverend Robinson Duckworth rowed a boat up the Isis on 4 July 1862[3] (this popular date of the "golden afternoon"[4] might be a confusion or even another Alice-tale, for that particular day was cool, cloudy, and rainy[5]) with the three young daughters of Henry Liddell (the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University and Dean of Christ Church): Lorina Charlotte Liddell (aged 13, born 1849, "Prima" in the book's prefatory verse); Alice Pleasance Liddell (aged 10, born 1852, "Secunda" in the prefatory verse); Edith Mary Liddell (aged 8, born 1853, "Tertia" in the prefatory verse).

The journey began at Folly Bridge in Oxford and ended 3 miles (5 km) north-west in the village of Godstow. During the trip, Dodgson told the girls a story that featured a bored little girl named Alice who goes looking for an adventure. The girls loved it, and Alice Liddell asked Dodgson to write it down for her. He began writing the manuscript of the story the next day, although that earliest version no longer exists. The girls and Dodgson took another boat trip a month later when he elaborated the plot to the story of Alice, and in November he began working on the manuscript in earnest.
To add the finishing touches, he researched natural history for the animals presented in the book, and then had the book examined by other children—particularly the children of George MacDonald. He added his own illustrations but approached John Tenniel to illustrate the book for publication, telling him that the story had been well liked by children.

On 26 November 1864, he gave Alice the handwritten manuscript of Alice's Adventures Under Ground, with illustrations by Dodgson himself, dedicating it as "A Christmas Gift to a Dear Child in Memory of a Summer's Day".[8] Some, including Martin Gardner, speculate that there was an earlier version that was destroyed later by Dodgson when he wrote a more elaborate copy by hand.

But before Alice received her copy, Dodgson was already preparing it for publication and expanding the 15,500-word original to 27,500 words,[10] most notably adding the episodes about the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Tea-Party.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells of a girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children.[1] It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. Its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential[2] in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.
