Dodgson started the telling of this tale on July 4, 1862 during a rowing boat tour on the Thames River at Oxford. Pastor Robinson Duckworth and three girls were members of the party: Alice Liddell, the ten-year old daughter of the dean of Christ Church, and her sisters Lorina, aged thirteen, and Edith, eight years of age. The poem at the beginning of the story states that the threesome urged Dodgson to tell them a story. And so he set out to present the first version of the tale, admittedly with some initial reluctance. Now and then, within the broader tale, reference is made to all five of the boat party; the story first appeared in print in 1865. This is the first translation of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" into Mennonite Low German (also known as Plautdietsch in German). This language (or group of dialects of Low German) is spoken in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Honduras, Belize, Argentina, by some 300,000 Mennonites, Their numbers are increasing in Germany due to the settlement of Mennonites migrating from Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union. Mennonites are members of a religious group that originally fled from the Netherlands and Belgium in the 1500s to escape per-secution, and who eventually resettled in the areas of Lower Prussian territory in the east. Later, many Mennonites migrated to North America-especially to Canada and the United States-and Latin America-especially Paraguay and Mexico-most of them live as rural settlers and added some Spanish and Portuguese words to their own language.
