Classically Beautiful
March 18th, 2010
I fell in love with the first set when they were announced last year and now Penguin has released another set of cloth-bound classics! Elegant depictions of each story envelope these lovely tales and so beautifully done by London designer, Coralie Bickford-Smith. Be sure to check out this interview with the her regarding the new volumes. I loved reading her concept behind Jane Austen’s, Emma.
The new set includes Alice in Wonderland

I love all the recent minimalist and patterned designs on the classics – so great to see art within art!

I love these! I’ve been dying to get some ever since the first set came out! Some of these are definitely going on the wish list.

Absolutely gorgeous. This is why I have no desire for a Kindle. 🙂
