This may be my favorite of all the choices. I wrapped it up for my nephew who is the newest dad in the group!
He left before I remembered about the books, so will have to get a photo soon.

Beautiful book with so many amazing stories about how each book came about and backgrounds on the authors too! Just love it!

I have not read the whole book but just skimming through, my first impressions are that the books are quality. The binding is tight, the paper is thick, the illustrations are beautiful and printed beautifully. The content provides just enough information to be suitable for a wide range of ages. We have read most of the books talked about here but not all of them and I think this picture book will be just the motivation to do so.

We recently learned about the story behind JM Barrie's Peter Pan. We were fascinated but also saddened by the story. This book will help us better understand other famous stories.

First off, this book is beautiful with very captivating illustrations- perfect to be displayed on your coffee table or in a child's room. The background stories themselves are on average only about 2 pages long, but packed with some very interesting facts about how some of the classic children's books we all know and love came to be. I ended up buying a bunch of copies to give to my friends and family members who love to read and everyone was thrilled. I'd highly recommend this book as a gift or...
