5.《小熊維尼的故事》--艾倫·亞歷山大·米恩Winnie the Pooh and his friends have delighted each generation since the author was inspired to write characters based on his son, Christopher Robin, and his son's toys. The first stories appeared in Winnie the Pooh (1926) and then in The House at Pooh Corner (1928).

r Pan--By J.M. Barrie
4.《小飛俠彼得潘》--詹姆斯·馬修·巴利
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.
於1911年出版的小說《小飛俠彼特潘》是由作者巴利的舞臺劇演化而來的。小說中這個長不大的男孩成了童年的象徵。他帶領一幫遺失男孩，和印第安人，海盜，還有他最大的敵人虎克船長一起在永無島上大膽冒險。這一羣可愛的小孩，彼特潘、溫迪、約翰、還有邁克爾一起進入了奇幻的世界。這個故事有很多種改編，最有名的是華特迪斯尼公司1953年的動畫片。Wind in the Willows--By Kenneth Grahame
3.《柳林風聲》--肯尼思·格雷厄姆
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.
格雷厄姆在書中給大家描述了一個充滿友誼和溫情的鄉間童話世界，讓小動物們“在小船上隨便玩耍”。以鼴鼠、水鼠、癩蛤蟆和獾等爲主人公的的這本書，第一次發表是在1908年。後來，故事被改編成多種版本，包括舞臺劇、電影和連續劇。鄉村的愜意生活被癩蛤蟆先生的出走給擾亂了。在兒童文學中最著名的主角之一，癩蛤蟆先生是個可愛的淘氣鬼，自負及魯莽的天性給他屢屢帶來麻煩，往往需要他的朋友們去挽救他。e in Wonderland--By Lewis Carroll
2.《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》--路易斯·卡羅爾
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.
這是兒童文學陣營中最怪誕、奇幻的故事之一。這個故事最初是由作者講給三個小姐妹聽的。牧師查爾斯·路特維奇·道奇森（作者用筆名路易斯·卡羅爾發表了此書）興之所至，給朋友的女兒們編的故事《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》1865年出版，後續篇《愛麗絲鏡中奇遇》1871年出版。原著中的插圖由約翰·天尼所畫，再版中的插畫是由奧亞瑟·萊克漢姆所畫。故事中的人物–白兔、瘋狂帽客、三月兔、紅心皇后都進入了流行文化中。Harry Potter Series--By J.K. Rowling
