Charles Dodgson, writing under the pen name Lewis Carroll was inspired to write down the now classic tale of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" after regaling several young children with it while on an outing. Not long after, the book was published with 42 illustrations by John Tenniel. It has since become a favorite of young people over the generations.

It has been released in various other forms since 1865, with Hollywood naturally taking several cracks at it. But we all know how the book is almost always better than the movie, right?
