At Oxford, Lewis Carroll made friends with the new dean's three daughters, Alice, Lorina, and Edith Liddell. It became somewhat of a tradition for them to take rowing trips on the river Isis, also known as the Thames.

Alice in Wonderland was originally told to Alice Liddell and her sisters by Carroll to pass the time during a 5-mile boat ride. The story was so well loved by Alice that she pleaded with Carroll to write it down for her. It took him 2 years, but eventually it was given to Alice in hand-written form on November 26th, 1864.

A publisher friend of the Liddells saw it and asked Mrs Liddell to persuade Carroll to publish it. Carroll lengthened it and had it illustrated and it was published by Macmillan on July 4, 1865.
