Classics Revisited: Books Inspired by Favourites (Part A)

This challenge consists of classic books, "which are each followed by sequels or a retold version of those classics, written by someone other than the original author. There are also some unfinished manuscripts by classic authors, later completed by another writer."
As far as possible, I have given the original classic work an icon with a "Penguin Classics", "Oxford World's Classics" or "Vintage" cover. Also the classics are in alphabetical order by author's surname (or translator's for Beowulf) . Mind you, I think the originals are fairly obvious.
