Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - July 4

 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - July 4

On July 4, 1862  Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (The real name of author Lewis Carroll), first tells the story of  a young girl named Alice "with lots of nonsense in it" at the request of his friend's children while on a boat trip. 

Exactly 3 years later, on July 4, 1865 ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND was first published.
