In 1887, one critic even suggested that Carroll had plagiarized Tom Hood's ""From Nowhere to the North Pole"" (1875) when writing ""Alice"" — although Hood's work came out ten years after ""Alice"" and was one of its many imitations.

Probably with a view to canvassing his opinion, Dodgson sent the manuscript of ""Under Ground"" to a friend, the author George MacDonald, in the spring of 1863. The MacDonald children read the story and loved it, and this response probably persuaded Dodgson to seek a publisher. ""Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"", with illustrations by John Tenniel, was published in 1865, under the name Lewis Carroll.
