Hello, Treasure Trove

Having recently discussed one of my favorite stories, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, I feel justified in claiming the relevance of this post. It is also a chance to share a new obsession of mine. I am lusting after these even though, unfortunately, I already own all of them so there's no economically sound reason to go out and further adorn my overflowing bookshelf.

But the new classics released by Penguin are whimsical and absolutely beautiful. Sigh. The delicate scissors on the cover of Little Women are as charming as the characters in the story. Treasure Island's vibrant macaws hint at the exotic adventure to unfold. And who could possibly resist the little pink flamingos on the cover of Alice? It's the right amount of flair to celebrate the eccentricity that lies inside.
