The History of "Alice": The story of Alice first appeared in print as a manuscript entitled Alice's Adventures Under Ground, written by Lewis Carroll between 1862-4 and featuring illustrations by the author. It was rewritten and published as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) in 1865 with illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. The Nursery "Alice" was first published in 1890, 25 years after the original Alice. Rewritten by Carroll, it included 20 of Tenniel's original illustrations enlarged and coloured, and was the first colour edition of any Alice book. It also featured a new cover illustrated by E. Gertrude Thomson.

About the Author:
Lewis Carroll was the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898), a mathematician famous for his books for children. The Alice stories were written for Alice Liddell, the daughter of the dean of his college. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (1872) have been loved by adults and children ever since. Sir John Tenniel (1820–1914) was a Victorian topical cartoonist, caricaturist, and illustrator. Famous during his life for his contributions to the satirical magazine Punch, he is best remembered today for his work in Alice.
