Lewis Carroll's real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. He was the third of eleven children of an Anglican priest, and was a mathematician and a logician who was a lecturer at Oxford University. He was also an accomplished photographer, and a Church Deacon. He is best known for his children's tales, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

While on a rowing trip on the river Isis in Oxford with Alice, Lorina and Edith Liddle, the three young daughters of a colleaugue, the children asked Dodgson to "Tell us a story". Alice, aged ten, later begged him to write down the story he had invented and for Christmas 1864 he gave her a hand-printed copy of "Alice's Adventures Underground". The dedication read: "A Christmas Gift to a Dear Child, in Memory of a Summer Day".

In the original manuscript, which Dodgson illustrated himself, Alice was not the little blonde girl we know today. Instead, she looked like Alice Liddle, for whom he had created the book.

Dodgson later showed the tale to his family and friends, and they convinced him to publish it. The revised and expanded version, with illustrations by Sir John Tenniel, was published by Macmillan and Co. in London in 1865. It was now called: "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".
