4.Peter Pan--By J.M. Barrie

Peter Pan evolved as a novel, published in 1911, from Barrie's stage play. The boy who wouldn't grow up has become a symbol of childhood. His adventures as the leader of The Lost Boys gang in Neverland lead him to escapades with Indians and pirates, his most dangerous enemy being Captain Hook. The Darling children, Wendy, John, and Michael are plunged into this amazing world. There have been several adaptations of the story, most notably the Walt Disney animation in 1953.

3.The Wind in the Willows--By Kenneth Grahame

Grahame paints a reassuring world of comradeship, rural life, and “messing about on boats”. First published in 1908, the story of Mole, Ratty, Mr. Toad, and Mr. Badger has been adapted many times, on stage, and in film and TV. The rural idyll and everyday routine is interrupted by Toad's escapades. One of the great characters of children's literature, Toad is a lovable rogue but his conceit and restless nature leads him into trouble, requiring his friends to rescue him.

2.Alice in Wonderland--By Lewis Carroll

This tale is one of the most surreal and bizarre to enter the children's literature canon. It began as a story to entertain three young sisters. Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (who published under the name, Lewis Carroll) invented the characters for the daughters of one of his friends. The book was published in 1865 and a sequel, Through the Looking-Glass came out in 1871. John Tenniel was the original illustrator and Arthur Rackham illustrated later editions. The characters of the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, and the Queen of Hearts have entered popular culture.
