Looking Glass Library series.
Illustrated by
Howard Pyle.
These sturdily bound editions include the full texts of children's literature classics with their original illustrations. Each title opens with an introduction by a contemporary children's writer; brief "About the Author" notes are appended. The compact trim size makes the font a little hard to read and the pictures a wee bit small. Otherwise, a decent selection. Review covers these Looking Glass Library titles: The Princess and the Goblin, The Book of Dragons, Five Children and It, and Twilight Land.
