4-6Looking Glass Library series.
Illustrated by
H. R. Millar.
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 bit small. Otherwise, a decent selection. Review covers these Looking Glass Library titles: The Golden Fleece and the Heroes Who Lived Before Achilles and The Phoenix and the Carpet.
