I’m still waiting for my Anne books to turn up. I’m still swooning over these, but I haven’t ordered them-yet. I also discovered that Oakley was commissioned to do new covers for all the Anne books (well, all but Rainbow Valley and Rilla of Ingleside, which is a shame: I would love to see how she would draw Rilla!) (Sometimes, a book nerd has to do what a book nerd has to do.) I’ve never read it, and the library doesn’t have it. Despite their devotion, it had been out of print until these editions rolled off the presses last April.

My justification: it was the one book of the series I hadn’t read, even though several fans I know cite it as their favorite Montgomery novel. I want them all, but I only ordered Jane of Lantern Hill. Montgomery books, and they were released last April. She’d been commissioned to do new covers for The Blue Castle and several other L. I did some digging, and found out the cover was done by Canadian artist Jacqui Oakley. (Two words: we moved.) The library fulfilled my request with this gorgeous new edition. Then I asked the library to send me The Blue Castle, because my copy is AWOL and I was itching for a re-read. Anne and Diana! little picket fences for Josie Pye to walk! Gilbert Blythe! The inside cover of Anne of Green Gables. (After all, Jack was about to start Anne of Green Gables in school, and Sarah was about to start Heidi. Then I found out it was part of a small collection of classics done by Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Company. It started with this beautiful edition of Anne of Green Gables I saw at our local children’s bookstore. Or at least add them to my Christmas list. I could never decide on which series to start with, so I never did.īut recently, I’ve discovered several smaller collections that are so drool-worthy I had to snatch them up. Barnes and Nobles puts out a lovely classics collection, and I’m over the moon for anything from The Folio Society. I adore the Penguin clothbound collection, and their Drop Caps series.
Of course-like so many book lovers-I’ve always admired beautiful collections of classics. The universe is clearly conspiring to turn me into a collector of gorgeous classics. I love books, but I’ve never been much of a collector.
