Alice in Wonderland
On a golden afternoon, young Alice follows a White Rabbit, who disappears down a nearby rabbit hole. Quickly following him, she tumbles into the burrow - and enters the merry, topsy-turvy world of Wonderland. A series of whimsical escapades and nonsensical obstacles dictate Alice's journey, which culminates in a madcap encounter with the Queen of Hearts - and her army of playing cards! Is it all a dream, or just an alternate reality...?
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading but it had no pictures or conversations in it.

Little Elisa: In Wonderland
“..There will always be a missing piece in life. It could be either something that is left undone or someone who you could not be able to come together with. Maybe the last piece has all the meaning of our lives and therefore it is always hidden” said Elisa, before she started her talk.
It might be a specific moment that we have to spend the rest of our lives searching that missing diamond piece. Because, without that last piece, nothing will be complete..”

Küçük Prens
"İnsan ancak evcilleştirirse anlar," dedi tilki.
"İnsanların artık anlamaya zamanları yok. Dükkânlardan her istediklerini satın alıyorlar. Ama dostluk satılan bir dükkân olmadığı için dostları yok artık. Eğer dost istiyorsan beni evcilleştir."
"Seni evcilleştirmek için ne yapmalıyım?" diye sordu küçük prens.
"Çok sabırlı olmalısın," dedi tilki. "Önce karşıma, şöyle uzağa çimenlerin üstüne oturacaksın.
Gözümün ucuyla sana bakacağım, ama bir şey söylemeyeceksin. Sözler yanlış anlamaların kaynağıdır. Her gün biraz daha yakınıma oturacaksın..."

PinchPenny Mouse
Once upon a time, there was a large, peaceful forest filled with cute animals.
There was a particular animal among them and everybody called him the The Pinchpenny Mouse. The Pinchpenny Mouse lived in a wooden cottage within a huge tree trunk, surrounded by a lush garden.
This mouse fellow's favourite thing to do was eating. He loved it so much that he would swallow up everything on his plate .
One day, he was so hungry. He took his bag with him and headed to The Generous Frog's house by the stream side.
"I wonder what the frog cooked today? Baked pies? Fragrant cookies? Hmmm, I didn't quite like the lichen dessert he baked yesterday. If he cooks that again, I won't talk to him anymore," he muttered to himself tensely as he walked..

The Snow-Image {A Childish Miracle}
Some of Nathaniel Hawthorne's early stories for children which appeared initially in juvenile magazines ended up in collections of stories for adults. Such was the case with "Little Annie's Ramble," which appeared first in Youth's Keepsake and then, a few years later, in the first edition of Twice-Told Tales. Other stories took the reverse journey. They were written and published for adults, but were reprinted individually with illustrations for the juvenile market. One such story was "The Snow Image: A Childish Miracle," written for adults and published in 1851 in The Snow Image and Other Twice Told Tales. By the early 1860s, it had been published separately as an illustrated children's book and continued in print as such for many years, aimed at the 6 to 8 year old reader.

Peter Pan [Peter & Wendy]
All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, "Oh, why can't you remain like this for ever!" This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end.
