Reader, I discovered MANY illustrated versions of this Bronte classic…

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth, I have embarked on a journey to read the many ‘Sanditon’ continuations and adaptations available. This is a first (and rare) “WaterBearReadsMore” post.

The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame was published on October 8, 1908, with only a few illustrations by W. Graham Robertson. Sail into this post and discover the enchanting illustrations that have graced its pages over the past 116 years!

Mirror mirror on the wall, which version is the fairest of them all?

It was a great year for the books! We hope you enjoy this list of our favorite reads which include science and historical fiction and fantasy. Some are recently released, some are classics, and even include a couple out-of-print and more obscure modern classics.

Dearest of all readers, join me for a stroll around Green Gables on Prince Edward Island for a look at the shining illustrators of this beloved classic.

Autumn is exciting in the book world as publishers release new books in time for the holidays – check out these titles – all illustrated – that have captured my admiration.

For my Summer Illustrator Explore I headed out to Vermont to visit Rudyard Kipling’s gorgeous home where he and his family spent many happy years, and where he wrote the subject of this explore: The Jungle Book!

Phew this is a long one! Some great titles coming out this summer!
