History of Alice in Wonderland Day

July 4 is a special day for Britishers and fans of fantasy as the world-renowned story of “Alice in Wonderland” is celebrated and honored. Lewis Carroll, whose original name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was born in Cheshire, England. He was the third child and the eldest son. Just like his siblings, he suffered from a stammer, but he did not allow that to hinder him in life. In his early years, Carroll received his education at home. His aptitude for reading led him to read books like “The Pilgrim’s Progress.” He, later on, went to a rugby school, and from there, he enrolled at the prestigious University of Oxford. His ease with academics secured him first-class honors in the subject of Mathematics Moderations. Carroll studied and taught at the university for a few years after. 

Caroll’s interest in reading saw him writing poetry and literature from an early age. His works enjoyed moderate success and popularity when they were published in magazines like “Miscmasch,” the “Whitby Gazette,” and the “Oxford Critic.” In 1856, Henry Liddell arrived as the Dean of Christ Church. Liddell had brought his family with him, which included his three daughters Alice, Lorina, and Edith. The family would go on to become important figures in Carroll’s life. As the friendship between the family and the writer grew, the latter would take the children on several rowing trips down the river Thames. Carroll, who by then was well-known in the literature world, entertained the little girls by telling them a story based on a girl named Alice. The girls loved the story so much that during each trip, they would ask Carroll to narrate it to them. In 1864, Carroll gifted “Alice in Wonderland” to Alice Liddell as a Christmas present. The next year, he self-published the book. He also added Lorina and Edith as the characters of Lory and Eaglet. During the next few years, Carroll would add more characters into the book like the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat.
