This July 4th marks the 160th anniversary of the publication of Alice in Wonderland, the story by Lewis Carroll—whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson—a masterpiece of world literature despite the doubts later raised by its author about his "obsessive" interest in girls, something that could never be confirmed. The tale's origins date back to the banks of the Thames in 1862, although it wasn't published as a book until 1865.
