Why did Lewis Carroll write Through the Looking Glass?

Answer 1

Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) often told stories to Henry Liddell's three daughters. One of them was named Alice. Dodgson took the three girls on a picnic and told them a fairy-tale of Alice's Adventures Underground. The story was based on a previous picnic they'd had where it had rained. This story was notably one of the best he had told the children. It had actually made Alice cry. She wished for him to write out Alice's adventures down for her.

Dodgson wrote the story down and illustrated it and gave Alice Liddell the finished product. A novelist named Henry Kingsley visited the Liddell home and picked up and read the book. He urged Mrs. Liddell to tell Dodgson to publish it. After much revision and the addition of other stories, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was published.

Answer 2

Carroll aimed to challenge conventional ideas and spark the imagination of his readers.
