Blonde and I share a mutual love for classic literature. So when Penquin Books came out with their classic books recovered in an adorable and ultra modern foil imprinted/cloth bound versions we were in deep swoon.
Graphic and simple, fresh and contemporary, these books were designed by UK based Coralie Bickford-Smith and had me musing, "why didn't I think of that"? That's when you know you have found something good. Her F. Scott Fitzgerald books are not just good though... they are so great.

Coincidentally, after our discovery, Blonde and I purchased the EXACT same book for each other for Christmas. Now that's what I call good fortune.

Anyways, like I said, Penquin has gone and done it again. Found via Anthropologie, these new versions of children's classics have me squirming in my soft cushy computer chair in anticipation. I just want to buy every last one and line them up on a shelf with a fancy little bookend and gaze at them while I go to sleep.
Not sure if they are the same designer though. Anyone else know? Still-utterly delightful.
Sigh...
