How to create a one-to-many relationship in Entity Framework 4.1 using First code and data annotations?

I am afraid to create simple one-to-many relationships using Code First in EF. I want him to create a database for me, but he could not understand how to write these classes in order to create it.

I have the following classes:

public class Book
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public string Author { get; set; }
    public ICollection<Page> Pages { get; set; }
}

public class Page
{   [Key]
    public int BookID { get; set; }

    public  Book Book { get; set; }

    public string OtherField { get; set; }
}

But I get an error while it binds to generate the database:

The main end of the relationship between the types "MvcApplication1.Models.Page" and "MvcApplication1.Models.Book" cannot be determined. The main end of this association must be explicitly configured using a free API or data annotation

: "" BookID . , .

:

public class Book
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public string Author { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<Page> Pages { get; set; }
}

public class Page
{   
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public int BookID { get; set; }
    public virtual Book Book { get; set; }
    public string OtherField { get; set; }
}
