Happy Alice in Wonderland Day! On July 4th, 1862, Charles Ludwidge Dodgson took the Liddell sisters on a boat ride, during which he entertained them with a story. This story would become the manuscript Alice's Adventures Under Ground, which itself later became Alice's Adventures in Wonderland... and the rest is history. You can see the original handwritten pages, with Dodgson's own drawings, here.
