To many, the mere mention of the word Classics, evokes thoughts of boring stories, written in a era of old-school attitudes and where the most exciting thing that happened was the annual summer ball (if you were of a higher-class that is). I however, adore the Classics. They are by far the best example of good writing and excellent story telling. Take a look at the New York Times Best Sellers List, yes those books may be hot now, but most are unlikely to stand the test of time. Classics however, are timeless.
The wonderful people at Penguin have given Classic lovers a great treat, by re-printing many of these wonderful tales with beautiful cloth bound covers. Just imagine how lovely these would look on your book shelves, and I think they would make a pretty classy gift too.
Coralie Bickford-Smith is the brains behind these breath-taking designs, and she is one talented lady.
