More DescriptionAlice's Adventures in Wonderland, the story that has delighted millions, was born on July 4, 1862, in an appropriately idyllic setting: a post-picnic boat ride on the River Thames. On board that afternoon were Charles Dodgson (better known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll), Dodgson's friend, Reverend Duckworth, and the three young Liddell sisters: Lorina, Edith, and Alice.Recalling the scene, Dodgson wrote: ?The cloudless blue above, the watery mirror below, and the three eager faces, hungry for news of fairy-land, and who would not be said ?nay? to: from whose lips ?Tell us a story, please,? had all the stern immutability of Fate!?The tale was so enthralling that Rev. Duckworth uestionedits spontaneity (Dodgson proudly confirmed, ?Yes, I'm inventing it as we go along?), and Alice asked him to write it down for her, a request she'd never made before...And so [I did], to please a child I loved."To date, the book has sold over ten million copies and is the fourth most quoted work in the world.
