One summer afternoon in 1862, the Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson took a rowboat out on the Thames. With him were three young friends from the Liddell family—the sisters Lorina, Edith, and Alice. Dodgson often spun fairy tales on these boating trips to pass the time, and on this particular afternoon the story was particularly well received by Alice, who afterwards entreated him to write it down for her. Dodgson recalled the pivotal moment thusly: "In a desperate attempt to strike out some new line of fairy-lore, I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole, to begin with, without the least idea what was to happen afterwards."Alice's Adventures Under GroundAlice's Adventures in WonderlandThe Annotated Alice: 150th Anniversary Deluxe EditionThe Annotated AliceMore Annotated AliceDefinitive EditionKnight LetterThe Annotated AliceThe Annotated AliceA rare, never-before-published portrait of Francis Jane Lutwidge, Lewis Carroll's motherDefinitive EditionThe Annotated AliceMore than 100 new illustrations, in vibrant color, by Salvador Dalí, Beatrix Potter, Ralph Steadman, and 42 other artists and illustrators, in addition to the original artwork by Sir John TennielA preface by Mark Burstein, president emeritus of the Lewis Carroll Society of North America, and all of Gardner's introductions to other editionsA filmography of every Alice-related film by Carroll scholar David Schaefer
