Once on a boat trip, 10-year-old Alice Liddell asked her mathematics teacher Charles Dodgson to write a wonderful story for her and her sisters Edith and Lorina. Dodgson, who had previously told the children of Dean Liddell's fairy tale, readily agreed.
This time he told the sisters about the adventures of a little girl in the Underground Country, where she fell, falling into the hole of the White Rabbit. The main character very much reminded Alice herself, and some secondary characters - her sisters Lorina and Edith.
Alice Liddell liked the story so much that she asked the teacher to write it down. Dodgson promised, but still had to recall several times. Finally, he fulfilled Alice's request and gave her a manuscript called "The Adventures of Alice Under the Earth".
Later, the author decided to rewrite the book. In the spring of 1863, he sent her to a review to his friend George MacDonald. The new version of the book Dodgson presented his favorite at Christmas 1863.
