”Alice in Wonderland” is based on an 1865 English children's novel by Lewis Carroll. It details the story of a girl named Alice who falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world of anthropomorphic creatures. It is seen as an example of the literary nonsense genre.

It received positive reviews upon release and is now one of the best-known works of Victorian literature; its narrative, structure, characters and imagery have had a widespread influence on popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre. It is credited as helping end an era of didacticism in children's literature, inaugurating an era in which writing for children aimed to "delight or entertain". The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children.

Carroll published a sequel in 1871 entitled Through the Looking-Glass.

“Victor builds a friend” was adapted for children based on the original story of Frankenstein. Frankenstein is an 1818 novel written by English author Mary Shelley. Frankenstein tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was 18, and the first edition was published anonymously in 1818, when she was 20. Her name first appeared in the second edition, which was published in 1821. Shelley travelled through Europe in 1815, moving along the river Rhine in Germany, and stopping in Gernsheim, near Frankenstein Castle, where, two centuries before, an alchemist had engaged in experiments. She then journeyed to the region of Geneva, Switzerland, where much of the story takes place.

“Bonnie the Bunny’s adventure to the Fountain of Youth” was written by Steve Adams, based on the tales from explorers who traveled the world in search of the Fountain of Youth. The Fountain of Youth is a mythical spring which allegedly restores the youth of anyone who drinks its waters. Tales of such a fountain have been recounted around the world for thousands of years, appearing in the writings back to the 12th century. Stories of similar waters also featured prominently among the people of the Caribbean during the Age of Exploration; they spoke of the restorative powers of the water in the mythical land of Bimini. Based on these many legends, explorers and adventurers looked for the elusive Fountain of Youth or some other remedy to aging, generally associated with magic waters. These waters might have been a river, a spring or any other water-source said to reverse the aging process. The legend became particularly prominent in the 16th century, when it became associated with the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León, the first Governor of Puerto Rico. Ponce de León was supposedly searching for the Fountain of Youth when he traveled to Florida in 1513.
