What you will get: Fun! This mini-melodramatic masterpiece is sure to be a doorway for your child to love all the classics. The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter It seemed to Franz that he closed his eyes, and in a last look about him saw the vision of modesty completely veiled; and then followed a dream of passion like that promised by the Prophet to the elect.

He advanced several paces towards the point whence the light came, and to all the excitement of his dream succeeded the calmness of reality. It seemed, however, even in the very face of open day, that at least a year had elapsed since all these things had passed, so deep was the impression made in his mind by the dream, and so strong a hold had it taken of his imagination.

Thus every now and then he saw in fancy amid the sailors, seated on a rock, or undulating in the vessel, one of the shadows which had shared his dream with looks and kisses.

If we were not forced to entertain a parcel of country boobies because they think and vote with us, we should never dream of dining at home, I assure you. But touching these Spanish affairs, I think that the baroness did not dream the whole of the Don Carlos matter. But as this dream cannot be realized, since Mademoiselle Danglars must become my lawful wife, live perpetually with me, sing to me, compose verses and music within ten paces of me, and that for my whole life, it frightens me. Inured as men may be to danger, forewarned as they may be of peril, they understand, by the fluttering of the heart and the shuddering of the frame, the enormous difference between a dream and a reality, between the project and the execution.

And for children: pirates, Indians, fairies, flying One of my earliest reads. I remember devouring almost instantly. Page after page was filled with wonderful adventure and tales of grit from the golden era of Greek mythology that filled me with a sense of wonder and set my imagination roaring.

I love Alice, the first English book I read as a child. I loved the pictures by Sir John Tenniel. My favourite quote has become my motto: "In this country it takes all the running you can do to stay in the same place — if you want to get any further you have to run much faster.

Mary Lennox is an unusual heroine: rude, selfish, spoilt and not at all beautiful. One can pity her: she is, after all, an orphan. The garden, too, has been abandoned. It is a powerful and beautifully simple parallel, and so elegantly written that, years later, the book still feels profound and utterly relevant. But Wilde's questions about humanity entered as invisibly as tiny shards of glass.

And, like his little swallow, we still find "the rich making merry in their beautiful houses, while the beggars [remain] sitting at the gates". Come back Mum and Uncle Mac! What better book to share at bedtime? What more delicious way to float off to sleep than down the glorious, great, grey, greasy Limpopo river, dreaming of stubbornly independent cats, maculate leopards and small, snub-nosed elephant children? With its back-to-front, deeply mysterious world, mirrored chess game, idiosyncratic characters, nonsense poems and esoteric undercurrents, the book's lasting value stems from a radical exploration of what we think is real.

We break free, as Alice does, through the mirror into an alternative universe. Carlo Collodi takes a simple piece of wood and some simple words and carves them into one of literature's great creations. We grin at Pinocchio's daftness, laugh at his promises, gasp at his punishments, sigh at his transformations.

He's a puppet in a very weird world. He runs through each and every one of us. I must have read at least 10 retellings of the Arthurian myths, but none has gripped me so intensely as Roger Lancelyn Green's. He retains the colour and the disconcerting strangeness of Thomas Mallory's Morte d'Arthur, while exposing the central tragedy. One of the most over-boiled, melodramatic and fantastically insane books ever written.

From Van Helsing's blood transfusions, which work regardless of blood type, to the ravings of the fly-eating madman Renfield and the chase through snowy Transylvania, it's ludicrous, bizarre — and utterly transfixing. I love Alice and her surreal, dream-like world, and spent a lot of my long-gone art student days copying her dress sense! I loved the idea of falling down a rabbit hole or stepping through a looking-glass into a completely different world where nothing quite made sense It was first ingrained into my mind thanks to a starring role in the school musical.

Appetite whetted, I explored the source material and found beyond the ditties I knew were words full of power and illustration, as Dickens intended. I pocketed a limited edition recently.
