Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, miniature editions of short stories, novellas, and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith.


Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, these captivating volumes transport us from the snowy landscapes of Japan to the springtime splendor of Vienna, from the hauntingly atmospheric New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess played on the ocean's waves to a love story unfolding on the moon.


Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colorful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil. Each page is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into creating these miniature masterpieces.


While George Orwell is perhaps most famous for his iconic novels, Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm, it is his remarkable nonfiction writing that truly captured the hearts and minds of his readers. Kind-hearted, intelligent, often funny, occasionally indignant, always insightful: his essays are some of the best ever written.


Among others, this selection includes Shooting an Elephant, Such, Such Were the Joys, and Some Thoughts on the Common Toad. These essays offer a glimpse into Orwell's unique perspective on the world, his observations on human nature, and his sharp wit and humor.


Little Clothbound Classics are the perfect gift for book lovers, collectors, and anyone who appreciates the beauty of literature. Whether you're a seasoned reader or a newcomer to the world of classic literature, these miniature editions are sure to delight and inspire.
