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. Walloon derives from Latin, like its cognates of the oďl cluster (including French). It is spoken in Wallonia, a part of southern Belgium, in the part of Belgium where French is the official language and that is called Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles; in this Fédération, the regional languages-Langues régionales endogčnes-Champenois, Lorrain, Picard, and Walloon, have the good fortune to enjoy an official recognition since the year 1991, and so they can be defended openly and they can flourish more easily. This translation was made in western Walloon, the one used in the Charleroi area. This area has always been a very industrial one: coalmines, glassworks, rolling mills. It is an area where the working-class formerly spoke only Walloon at work. Those workers originated from all over the area. They gradually created a common working language, a Walloon koine. My translation has been written in that common variety.
