He made up a fantasy story for the children while having a tea break by the river. The protagonist's name comes from Alice, who is the cleverest and cutest seven-year-old girl among the sisters.

After returning home, Carol wrote the story at Alice's request and gave it to Alice herself.

With his encouragement, Carol further embellished the story and published it in 1865 under the title Alice in Wonderland.
