On 26 November 1864, Dodgson 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 speculate there was an earlier version that was destroyed later by Dodgson when he printed a more elaborate copy by hand.) However, before Alice received her copy, Dodgson was already preparing it for publication, expanding the 15,500-word original to 27,500 words.Īlice and her sister are lazing a river bank in the English countryside. 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. He researched natural history for the animals presented in the book, and then had the book examined by other children. In November that year he began working on the manuscript in earnest. Dodgson began writing the manuscript of the story the following, elaborating the plot to the story of Alice. The girls loved it, and Alice Liddell asked him to write it down for her. (The girls were 13, 10 and 8 at the time, respectively.)ĭuring the trip, Dodgson told the girls a story about a bored little girl named Alice who goes looking for an adventure. On 4 July 1862, Dodgson, along with Robinson Duckworth, took the daughters of their friend Henry Liddell - Lorina, Alice, and Edith - on a five-mile boat trip from Folly Bridge near Oxford to the village of Godstow. 2.8 Chapter 8: The Queen's Croquet-Garden.
