9 literary places that we wished for were real

There are some books that I read as a child who were frankly frightening. The hallucinogenic madness of Alice in Wonderland, the crazy little people of Lilliput and the Oz qualities from the other hand made me emotionally emotion that lived in these countries.

In other books, I wish I could visit the places painted in it. Here are my favorite literary places that I wish they were real.
