Alice in Wonderland
by Lewis Carroll, Rene Cloke (Illustrator)
Hardcover, 92 pages
Published September 7th 2004 by Gramercy Books (first published 1865)
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells of a girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. Its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.

Moral allegory and spiritual autobiography, The Little Prince is the most translated book in the French language.

His personal odyssey culminates in a voyage to Earth and further adventures.
The Wind in the Willows
by Kenneth Grahame, Gillian Avery (Introduction)
Paperback, Penguin Classics, 256 pages
Published October 27th 2005 by Penguin Books (first published October 8th 1908)
Meet little Mole, willful Ratty, Badger the perennial bachelor, and petulant Toad. Over one hundred years since their first appearance in 1908, they’ve become emblematic archetypes of eccentricity, folly, and friendship. And their misadventures-in gypsy caravans, stolen sports cars, and their Wild Wood-continue to capture readers’ imaginations and warm their hearts long after they grow up. Begun as a series of letters from Kenneth Grahame to his son, The Wind in the Willows is a timeless tale of animal cunning and human camaraderie. This Penguin Classics edition features an appendix of the letters in which Grahame first related the exploits of Toad.
