Lewis Carroll (the pen name of English author and mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) published Alice's Adventures in Wonderland on July 4, 1865.
The book was famously inspired by a young girl named Alice Liddell, the daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, where Carroll worked as a lecturer. After telling the fantastical stories to Alice and her sisters during a boat trip, Carroll was encouraged to write them down, resulting in a worldwide cultural phenomenon that has never been out of print
