Henry Liddell was appointed the dean of Christ Church, Oxford, which caused their large family (10 children) to move to Oxford. On an outing, Alice and her family met Dodgson, who was photographing the cathedral, in 1856. Soon after, the Liddells became friends with Dodgson, who eventually used Alice as a subject for his photographs. During a boat ride with Alice and her sisters, Alice asked Dodgson for a story; he told them fanciful stories of a girl named Alice and her adventures after she fell down a rabbit hole. He had told them similar stories before, but this time Alice asked him to write them down for her. Some months later, he presented her with the manuscript of Alice's Adventures Under Ground. Soon, he decided to re-work the story for publication; it was later published in 1865, with a sequel, Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, published in 1871. Not all copies of this special Limited Editions Club title are signed by Hargreaves ? subscribers had to pay extra for her signature.Measurements: 11"L x 10"W x 2"H.
