On July 4th 1862 two Oxford fellows, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson of Christ Church and Robinson Duckworth of Trinity, took a rowing boat on the Isis from Folly Bridge, near Christ Church, to Godstow with the three daughters of Henry Liddell, the Dean of Christ Church and later Vice Chancellor of the University. During their voyage, Dodgson entertained the girls with a story he made up featuring the second daughter, Alice, and her search for adventure. The girls loved the story so much that they urged him to write it down. Under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll he did so, and called it "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".
