What is Alice's Adventures Under Ground : Facsimile of the Author's Manuscript Book with Additional Material from the Facsimile Edition of 1886 about?

As is generally known, Alice's adventures were "born on a golden afternoon" in July 1862, when the Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (better known as Lewis Carroll) took the three small daughters of Dean Liddell of Christ Church, Oxford, on a boating trip up the Isis. Carroll delighted the three children by relating Alice's adventures, and eventually promised his favorite among the three, Alice Liddell, to write the story down for her. At Christmas 1864 Alice Liddell received a remarkable present from Lewis Carroll: a white vellum-bound book, in Which the story of "Alice's Adventures under Ground" was carefully printed in Carroll's hand, with many illustrations drawn by Carroll himself, giving his conceptions of the White Rabbit, Alice herself, the Gryphon, the "drink me" episode, the caterpillar on the mushroom, "Father William," the trial of the Knave of Hearts, and other familiar persons and scenes. This manuscript was the original version of the Alice story (apart from what. ever lost earlier notes may once have existed), and it is very different from the book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" that we all know. Carroll apparently would not consent to publishing "Alice's Adventures
