THE MAKING OF ALICE IN WONDERLAND
About the Author:
Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, third of eleven
children of an Anglican priest, was a mathematician
and a logician who was a lecturer at Oxford for some
26 years. He was also an accomplished photographer,
and a Church Deacon. Dodgson's pen name, (and the
name by which you will undoubtedly know him best),
was Lewis Carroll. He is best known for his whimsical
tales, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through
the Looking Glass.
Lewis Carroll - 1832-1898
Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
Alice Pleasance Liddell
In Carroll's original (1862-1864) manuscript for the story,
Alice's Adventures Underground, which he personally
illustrated, Alice was not the little blonde girl in a pinafore we
have come to know from subsequent illustrations. Instead, she
was originally a winsome, dark haired child, whose likeness
had been patterned after ten year old Alice Liddell, the child
of a church colleague, for whom the Alice stories had been
originally created.
Dodgson first told the story during a pleasant summer outing
with friends. Reverend Dodgson, along with a Christ Church
colleague, Robinson Duckworth, and the three young
daughters of the Dean of Christ Church at Oxford, (Alice,
Lorina, and Edith Liddell), in a rowing boat hired from
Salter's boatyard, near Folly Bridgehad all set out on a lazy,
two hour rowing trip down the river Isis to Godstow, that July
4th in 1862.

THE MAKING OF ALICE IN WONDERLAND

About the Author : Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson , third of eleven children of an Anglican priest, was a mathematician and a logician who was a lecturer at Oxford for some 26 years. He was also an accomplished photographer, and a Church Deacon. Dodgson's pen name, (and the name by which you will undoubtedly know him best) , was Lewis Carroll. He is best known for his whimsical tales, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Lewis Carroll - 1832 - 1898 Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson Alice Pleasance Liddell In Carroll's original (1862-1864) manuscript for the story, Alice's Adventures Underground, which he personally illustrated, Alice was not the little blonde girl in a pinafore we have come to know from subsequent illustrations. Instead, she was originally a winsome, dark haired child, whose likeness had been patterned after ten year old Alice Liddell, the child of a church colleague, for whom the Alice stories had been originally created.

In Carroll's original (1862-1864) manuscript for the

story, Alice's Adventures Underground, which he

personally illustrated, Alice was not the little blonde

girl in a pinafore we have come to know from

subsequent illustrations. Instead, she was originally a

winsome, dark haired child, whose likeness had been

patterned after ten year old Alice Liddell, the child of

a church colleague, for whom the Alice stories had

been originally created.

Dodgson entertained his fellow passengers with a story he created on the spur of the moment for 10 year old Alice. Alice and her sisters were enchanted with the tale, and Alice later pleaded with Carroll to commit the story to paper, which he did, but he did not complete it until the following February.

The first manuscript, which was called Alice's

Adventures under Ground is thought to have probably

been destroyed in 1864 when, on November 26th 1864,

Dodgson presented Alice Liddell with a more elaborate

hand-printed second version which included 37 of his own

illustrations as a Christmas present. The manuscript,

entitled "Alice's Adventures Underground" was

presented to Alice Liddell, inscribed as "A Christmas Gift

to a Dear Child, in Memory of a Summer Day ".
