On 26 November 1865, Dodgson's tale was published by Macmillan of London as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland under the pseudonym "Lewis Carroll" with illustrations by John Tenniel.
The first print run of 2,000 was held back because Tenniel objected to the print quality.
A new edition, released in December of the same year for the Christmas market, but carrying an 1866 date, was quickly printed.
The text blocks of the original edition were removed from the binding and sold with Dodgson's permission to the New York publishing house of D. Appleton & Company.
The binding for the Appleton Alice was identical to the 1866 Macmillan Alice, except for the publisher's name at the foot of the spine.
The title page of the Appleton Alice was an insert cancelling the original Macmillan title page of 1865, and bearing the New York publisher's imprint and the date 1866.

The entire print run sold out quickly.
Alice was a publishing sensation, beloved by children and adults alike.
Among its first avid readers were Queen Victoria and the young Oscar Wilde.
The book has never been out of print.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has been translated into at least 97 languages, or as many as 174 languages.
There have now been over a hundred editions of the book, as well as countless adaptations in other media, especially theatre and film.

The book is commonly referred to by the abbreviated title Alice in Wonderland, which has been popularised by the numerous stage, film and television adaptations of the story produced over the years.
Some printings of this title contain both Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There.
