Friday Find: Clothbound Children’s Classics by Penguin

With my kids heading back-to-school, these delightful books caught my eye. Penguin offers the collection of clothbound classics that feature some of my favorites from childhood. They are sold separately, but who can resist buying the entire collection? Currently Anthropologie is selling six titles including The Wind in the Willows, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.  Amazon carries other titles including Black Beauty, Gulliver’s Travels and The Call of the Wild.  In any case, they would make a terrific gift for any child, while adding a splash or color and style to their bookcase.

Today, I am also excited to be guest blogging at Courtney Outloud and giving tips on getting organized for back-to-school. Hope you can drop by!


Happy Friday!!!

  2. I've been kinda crazy over those books. I have less pretty versions of all 6, so couldn't justify their purchase. I'm rethinking though. Need to check the others on Amazon! Thanks for the tip.
    Great post over at Courtney Out Loud too.
    Happy Friday! xo

  7. Beautiful... and I just read the Wind in the Willows for the first time, so I guess it's never too late to discover great stories.
