silver Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) I'm looking for some lovely books to add to our collection. We already have Sterling's Illustrated Classics for Peter Pan as well as Treasure Island. I have Secret Garden illustrated by Inga Moore. I have The Wizard of Oz with the original illustrations. I'm looking, in particular, for lovely illustrated versions of the following: The Princess and the Goblin Anne of Green Gables The Hobbit I'd also be interested in any other lovely editions of classic children's books.

alisoncooks Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 We love The Hobbit illustrated by Jemima Catlin. The book is lovely, cloth-bound and sturdy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue daisy Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 We have The Wind in the Willows, The Jungle Book, Just So Stories, and The Secret Garden. They're all beautiful. I was planning to read A Christmas Carol this year so I will have to get the one he illustrated! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
