The Dodo appears in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Alice in wonderland.
Lewis Carroll (Charles L. Dodgson) based many characters and scenarios in Alice in Wonderland on real life. He based the Dodo bird after himself because he had a stutter and would often introduce himself as Charles Do, do, Dogson.
The Dodo, which is thought to refer to Lewis Carroll's real name, Charles Dodgson. It is believed that because of his stammer he pronounced it Do-do-dodgson.
There are a few bird characters in the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The most significant is probably the Dodo, who appears in the third chapter, A Caucus-Race and a Long Tale. It is the Dodo who organises the race and presents the prizes. He is well known because he is a representation of the book's author, Lewis Carroll. Carroll's real name was Charles Dodgson which, because of his stammer, he pronounced do-do-dodgson - hence he had the nickname 'the dodo'.There are three other famous birds in that scene; a duck, a lory and an eaglet. These characters also represent real people. The Duck is Robinson Duckworth, who was Carroll's friend, and the Lory and the Eaglet are Lorina and Edith, who were the sisters of real Alice.The other major bird in the book is the Pigeon who Alice frightens when her neck grows. In Chapter Five, Advice from a Caterpillar, Alice's head shoots up into the trees when she samples the mushroom the Caterpillar has been sitting on. This terrifies the Pigeon who has been trying to protect her eggs from serpents.Also well known, despite not being major characters, are the flamingos, who are employed as croquet mallets in Chapter Eight, The Queen's Croquet-Ground.
The Dodo represents Lewis Carroll. Because of his stammer, he would pronounce his real name do-do-dodgson. The Dodo, the Duck, the Lory and the Eaglet all represent the original group who went on the rowing trip where Carroll first told the Alice story. The Duck is Robinson Duckworth, a friend of Carroll's, and the Lory and the Eaglet represent Lorina and Edith, Alice's sisters. 'The other curious creatures' were probably Carroll's sisters, Fanny and Elizabeth, and his Aunt Lucy Lutwidge. A few weeks before the famous rowing trip, these seven people, plus Alice Liddell of course, had been on another outing during which it rained very heavily and everybody got soaked. They were forced to dry off at a friend's house. This episode was referred to in the original Alice story, but was edited out of the final published book, as it was thought the incident would not be interesting to anyone who wasn't there. Years later Carroll sent Duckworth a copy of his book with an inscription, 'To the Duck from the Dodo'.
The book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland doesn't really have 'good guys' and 'bad guys' but, on the whole, the Dodo is basically good.Alice meets him when she gets out of the pool of tears. He is the one who helps to get everybody dry by organising the caucus-race. He is quite friendly and helpful, but he does cause Alice some embarrassment when he decides that she must be the one to provide the prizes for the race.The Dodo was almost bound to be presented as a good character as it is very likely that he represents Lewis Carroll himself. It is said that, because of his stammer, Carroll used to pronounce his real name 'Do-Do-Dodgson' and, when he gave a signed edition of an Alice book to his friend Robinson Duckworth, he inscribed it, "To the Duck from the Dodo."

The Caucus Race is a nonsensical event in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" where all participants run in a random chaotic pattern until the Dodo declares it over. There is no clear winner, highlighting the absurdity and randomness of Wonderland.
"Grin like a Cheshire cat" was a well known phrase in Victorian England, and there are several examples of its use prior to Alice being written, so Carroll must have taken the name from there - perhaps because of his place of birth: Daresbury, Cheshire, England. The origin of the term is unknown. For more information, see 'Related links' below.
