The Book of One Thousand and One Nights (Persian: هزار و یک شب Hazār-o Yak Šab, Arabic: كتاب ألف ليلة و ليلة Kitāb 'Alf Layla wa-Layla; also known as The Book of a Thousand Nights and a Night, One Thousand and One Nights, 1001 Arabian Nights, Arabian Nights, The Nightly Entertainments or simply The Nights) is a medieval Persian literary epic which tells the story of Scheherazade (Persian: شهرزاد Šahrzād), a Sassanid Queen, who must relate a series of stories to her malevolent husband, King Shahryar (شهريار Šahryār), to delay her execution. The stories are told over a period of one thousand and one nights, and every night she ends the story with a suspenseful situation, forcing the King to keep her alive for another day. The individual stories were created over many centuries, by many people and in many styles, and many have become famous in their own right. Notable examples include Aladdin, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor.

5.Alice in Wonderland

作者Lewis Carroll,他的两本书Alice's Adventures in Wonderland和Through the Looking-Glass都是写Alice的。
作者的简介:Lewis Carroll (1832-1898),English logician, mathematician, and novelist, best-known for his classic fantasy novels ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND (1865) and its sequel THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS, AND WHAT ALICE FOUND THERE (1871).
Carroll used the surrealistic settings of his fantasy world to question the commonly accepted ways of thinking. Unlike other children's books of the time, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland did not try to teach a moral message. Carroll also wrote poetry which have remained open to all explanations of meaning.
本书的评价:Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is one of the most celebrated children's books of all time. Since its publication in 1865 most editions of the beloved tale have featured the work of a single artist. Chronicle Books is proud to present this Classic Illustrated Edition with a unique vision: Lewis Carroll's original story of little Alice's tumble down a rabbit hole is brought to life by a wondrous collection of vintage illustrations gathered from the late 19th & early 20th century editions of the book. This oversize edition of the complete text of Carroll's classic contains examples of illustrations from 29 artists.
精彩语录:
--"I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, sir," said Alice, "because I'm not myself, you see."
--"I don't see," said the Caterpillar.
--"I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly," Alice replied very politely, "for I can't understand it myself top begin with; and being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing."
--"It isn't," said the Caterpillar.
6.Andersen, Hans Christian
这就是安徒生的大名啦,呵呵~~The Ugly Duckling, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Princess and The Pea...
另:大多数的英语(或者是德语、法语)资料使用“Hans Christian Andersen”这个叫法,但是在丹麦和斯堪的纳维亚半岛,安徒生的名字为“H.C. Andersen”。在丹麦,一个人的姓名只用首字大写字母表示是个被接受的惯例,正如美国人姓名的中间单词用单词的首字大写字母代替。这是没有什么一般准则的,但是要知道各自的正确用法。因此,在丹麦,人名的规范形式为:“H.C. Andersen”、“H.C. Ørsted ”、“N. F. S. Grundtvig”,而不是“Søren Kierkegaard”、“Tor Nørretranders”、“Lars von Trier”。
