A
Paddington Bear
Michael Bond's polite bear from darkest Peru has been charming readers since 1958. A hard stare, a suitcase, and a sandwich under his hat β pure cosy comfort.
B
Matilda Wormwood
A clever little girl with telekinetic powers and a fierce love of libraries. Matilda taught a generation that reading is its own kind of magic.
C
Harry Potter
J.K. Rowling's bespectacled hero made millions of kids check their letterbox on their eleventh birthday. Hogwarts forever changed bedtime reading.
D
The BFG
Roald Dahl's Big Friendly Giant gave us snozzcumbers, frobscottle and a vocabulary all of his own. Gobblefunk at its finest.
E
Winnie-the-Pooh
A.A. Milne's honey-obsessed teddy and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood are the gentlest corner of British childhood. Pure, unfiltered cosiness.
