New and Forthcoming
A new departure for the Collector’s Library is to publish in-copyright modern classics. The first three of these, published in September 2011, were Graham Greene’s The Third Man and Other Stories, Franz Kafka’s The Trial and W Somerset Maugham’s Best Short Stories.
Another exciting new venture has been to commission hand-coloured versions of Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass and The Little Prince from Barbara Frith, one of England’s leading colourists.
In the Spring of 2012 the Collector’s Library will publish two magical childhood memoirs with very different backgrounds but both are modern classics. Laurie Lee’s Cider with Rosie tells of the poet’s impoverished childhood in a remote but bucolic Gloucestershire valley in the 1920s, whereas Gerald Durrell’s My Family & Other Animals recounts an equally impoverished but equally hilarious childhood in Corfu in the 1930s. Two more springtime classics – A E Housman’s A Shropshire Lad with delightful wood engravings by Agnes Miller Parker and F Scott Fitzgerald’s stories of the roaring Twenties, Tales of the Jazz Age – are complemented by four Shakespeare plays: As You Like It, King Lear, Richard III and The Tempest.
