The Penguin Classics Book Reviews

Beautifully designed and lovingly compiled * The Spectator *
Smartly illustrated with original cover artwork-ideal for glancing over dearly loved literary companions, as well as for discovering gaps to fill . . . This is a fascinating survey of how our nation's literary tastes have altered over the years and makes us wonder anew at what constitutes a 'classic'. -- Emily Rhodes * Country Life *
The perfect gift for bibliophiles * The Arts Society UK *
I can't imagine a better or more beautifully presented reference for a book-lover -- Waterstones.com review
