Which beloved British children's book character did you secretly want to be friends with?

Polite, slightly accident-prone, and always armed with a hard stare. Honestly, who wouldn't want a bear that arrives with his own emergency sandwich supply?

Roald Dahl's pint-sized genius could move objects with her mind and outsmart any adult in the room. The ultimate study buddy, frankly.

A bashful chap who'll invite you in for sardines on toast and a tune on the flute. Narnia's most charming host, hands down.

Jacqueline Wilson's fierce, fiery heroine who told it exactly like it was. You'd want her in your corner during any playground drama.

He speaks in delightful nonsense, drinks frobscottle, and pops dreams through your window at night. A 24-foot best mate, basically.
