In 1889 Maggie Bowman, was appearing in the play Bootles’s Baby in Oxford. During her visit, Dodgson spent most of two days escorting her around the city, showing her numerous attractions and features, many of which had also been included in her sister Isa’s earlier visit. To commemorate her visit, Dodgson wrote the poem ‘Maggie’s Visit to Oxford’, which was first published in Isa Bowman’s The Story of Lewis Carroll, pages 104-109.
