Who Were They Really? by Susan Beth Pfeffer

Do you enjoy Winnie-the-Pooh's stories? How about Peter Pan, Little Women, or the Little House on the Prairie books?

Have you ever wondered how Peter Rabbit got his name, or how Alice had so many adventures in Wonderland?

Ms. Pfeffer has collected the true stories behind these favorite characters, including pictures both of their authors and of their subjects. (Did you know that the real Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends are in New York City? They live at the Donnell Library.) You might be surprised at where some of the stories have come from, and the lives of the people who inspired them.
