Dodgson wrote that "In a desperate attempt to strike some new line of fairy-lore, I sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole, without the least idea what was to happen afterwards." As he rowed from the bow Dodgson invented the story, and everyone in the boat was a character in the tale.
The Dodo was Dodgson, the duck was Duckworth, the lory, Lorina, the eaglet, Edith, and of course, Alice was Alice.
Duckworth, who was hearing the story told over his shoulder, was impressed by its originality and he called back to Dodgson to ask him if he was really making it up.

Alice, Carroll's clear favorite, is here referred to as Secunda, as she is the second oldest (Carroll is employing the Latin method of numbering girls).
Also present that day was Carroll's friend, the Reverend E. Robinson Duckworth, who appears later in the story (at the caucus-race) as a duck.
Carroll was often in the habit of inventing stories for the girls on their frequent rowing trips up the Thames; it was only at Alice's insistence that he eventually turned this story into a book.

In these prefatory verses Carroll recalls that "golden afternoon" in 1862 when he and his friend the Reverend Robinson Duckworth (then a fellow of Trinity College, Oxford, later canon of Westminster) took the three charming Liddell sisters on a rowing expedition up the Thames.
It was due to my "going on, going on" and importunity that, after saying he would think about it, he eventually gave the hesitating promise which started him writing it down at all.
I rowed stroke and he rowed bow in the famous Long Vacation voyage to Godstow, when the three Miss Liddells were our passengers, and the story was actually composed and spoken over my shoulder for the benefit of Alice Liddell, who was acting as 'cox' of our gig.

It was a journey so long prepared for by historical studies, that I imagine few people have gone to Italy with a more thorough knowledge of what they would find there than we possessed.
The arrangement did not answer, though it must be confessed that we treated Duckworth very ill, and were always playing him tricks.

 Lewis Carroll: Master of "Nonsense"
Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898) was a mathematics don who has long been much better known by his pseudonym Lewis Carroll.
The story behind his first Alice book is a famous one: On July 4, 1862 he and his friend Robinson Duckworth, a Fellow at Trinity College, accompanied the daughters of the dean of Christ Church on a pleasant boat trip on the river Isis.
This particular excursion was to be an especially memorable one, for Reverend Dodgson entertained his fellow travelers with the story that was to be originally called Alice's Adventures Under Ground, which he wrote down and illustrated by himself in a book that he presented to Alice Liddell, the "protagonist" of his story.
