and it is just such a fantastic piece of literature. I absolutely adore it and I love Chaharzad.
The Most Beautiful Books in My Library | Folio Society Collection
The Ars Amtoria is one of my special interests. I don't know if I want to say I love it because there's some problematic stuff in there, but I adore studying it.
I loved his stories growing up. And this is a collection of his stories including the reluctant dragon which is a retelling of George and the dragon.
one that I bought myself is The Folktales of the British Isles, which is gorgeous. And this is the edition I have, which I love.
And these are just absolutely stunning. Could not adore them more.
And I love the fairy tales of Charles Perrault. So, of course, I had to have this beautiful edition.
It is classic stories that were printed there, so like Sherlock Holmes, but by various different authors. And I just think this is a really fun idea.
And I will warn you, if you're looking to get into Greek mythology, though they are incredibly fun and engaging to read, they are not entirely accurate.
I'm also desperate, desperate to own the Folio Society editions of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams cuz one of my favorite books and I think they're just absolutely stunning.
I adored this book as a child. I obsessed over it. I told everyone about it.
Then not by Kenneth Graham, but another childhood classic, The Railway Children by Edith Nesvet.
so, yeah, really interesting book and obviously a really interesting piece of history.
There was a cartoon film that I was obsessed with growing up and I love the book just as much as any of those adaptations.
I just absolutely love this. It's a really special one to me, particularly because of the artwork.
It's still a fascinating piece of history.
