Description
This gorgeous set of Children's Classics hardcover editions features beloved titles including Lewis Carroll's 'Through the Looking-Glass' illustrated by Bessie Pease Gutmann, Charles Kingsley's 'The Water Babies' illustrated by the iconic Jessie Willcox Smith, and Grimm's Fairy Tales illustrated by Noel Pocock — three of the most celebrated names in classic children's book illustration. Published under the Children's Classics imprint, these volumes are known for their richly decorated spines, gold-embossed artwork, and jewel-toned leather-look covers in deep red, navy, and forest green. The illustrations inside by Gutmann and Willcox Smith are widely collected in their own right, making these editions especially desirable to fans of early 20th-century illustrative art. This is a wonderful set for collectors of vintage children's literature, fans of classic illustrators, or anyone seeking a beautiful and meaningful gift. The complete set makes a stunning display on any bookshelf and represents a cherished era of children's publishing.
