Alice in Wonderland
Wizard of Oz
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
The first two are down to earth, practical, and fairly close descriptions of actual life as we live it. The last one is entirely philosophical, not about everyday life, more about big abstract ideas.
In Alice you meet the White Rabbit who is in a big hurry. And the Red Queen. And the Cards.
Omar is a lot like what we call the pessimists like Camus — who sees the absurdity of human life, and Sartre who sees the existential predicament.
