Literary Indulgence
I am loving the leather-bound classic collection at Barnes & Noble. These would make excellent Christmas gifts serving the purpose of both entertainment and decor. They are very reasonably priced too, with most ranging from $10-20, and some even come in sets. I would love to have a dozen or so of these to fill my bare bookshelves! The art on the covers is just as interesting as what is inside. Which one is your favorite? I love the Ernest Hemingway collection.
The Swiss Family Robinson is one of my favorite stories. I have always wanted to live in their house on a deserted island!
Black Beauty is another favorite. I remember laying in my parents bed as a child with my mom reading this to my sister and me.
I would love to collect these to have a complete set for my future children to marvel at! They are just so whimsical.
I’ve never been much of a Jane Austen fan, just couldn’t get into them, but in any case, these would definitely make a bookshelf more beautiful and interesting.
I also really like the cloth-bound Penguin classics. The illustrations aren’t as interesting as the leather, but beautiful nonetheless.
