The Beginning
Alice in Wonderland is a well known and adored children's story that has been altered and manipulated over time to remain exciting and relevant to all generations.
Lewis Carroll first began this story in 1862 while traveling on a rowing boat with the three young daughters of the Dean of the Christ Church at Oxford and a colleague . The name Alice was based on one of the three girls Carroll was creating the story for, Alice Liddell.
At first the story was spoken, with no intention of being written down and did not include certain scenes that were written in the first published copy. It was not until the third version was created that Carroll's spoken version of Alice's adventures expanded into what we now know today to be the original Alice in Wonderland and included characters and scenes such as the caucus race, Pig and Pepper, A Mad Tea Party and the Cheshire Cat.
