Wonderful Children's Books

To the list of wonderful children's books, I shall begin by including the most ingenious classics I have already read, which will be followed by an a posteriori selection of great classics I have yet to discover. Here follows a list of imperative books to be featured shortly on this site. I will need to re-read them in order to fish for exciting and interesting quotes and of course, to be in a position to expose and explain the marvels and the genius behind their literary greatness. This list is not organised by rank, hence the order is completely arbitrary.

1. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), 1865
2. Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There, by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), 1871
3. Peter and Wendy, by J.M.Barrie, 1911
4. Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe, 1719
5. The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, 1943
6. The Happy Prince and Other Tales, by Oscar Wilde, 1888
7. The Harry Potter series, by J.K.Rowling, 1997-2007
8. Revolting Rhymes, by Roald Dahl, 1982
9. The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss, 1971
