I loved this book as a child and I still love it today, I know just where to flick to get to my favourite parts (where Mary witnesses her cousin's tantrum for the first for example and peers peevishly at his 'hunch' back, or where Colin's dad finally comes home to see him)...
I am so so delighted that Jillian Tamaki has embroidered covers for a limited range of Penguin Classics books. She is amazingly talented and the book covers are FABULOUS.
I've been watching bookstores anxiously awaiting their arrival...nothing yet on these shores so I've emailed Penguin to ask when the launch is!
Time to update a few old favourites!
