  • 24% - The Harry Potter series by JK Rowling
  • 12% - The Winnie the Pooh series by AA Milne
  • 10% - The Cat in the Hat by Dr Seuss
  • 7% - Peter Pan by JM Barrie

  • 4% - Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
  • 3% - The Frog Princess by Brothers Grimm
  • 2% - The Wizard of Oz by L Frank Baum

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has now been crowned the number one story, due to its mix of humour, intrigue and magic.

“Charlie and The Chocolate is one of my all-time favourite stories and I’m sure its one I’ll read time and time again,” says mum Kate, whose baby Lucas was transformed into Charlie during the Venture photo session.
