Because during this journey Dodgson told the story that so unterested one of the little girls, Alice by name, that she asked Dodgson to write it down for her. Thus Dodgson created one of the best loved and most interesting children's books under the pen-name Lewis Carroll. This pen-name came from his first two names and latinizing them, " Lutwidge ... Lutwidge ... Ludovic - Louis and Charles..."
