Beautifully designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith, Little Clothbound Classics are collectable, small format editions of short stories, novellas and essays that celebrate the range of the Penguin Classics list.

The series includes all-time favourites alongside lesser-known surprises: from Shirley Jackson’s haunted New England to the English gardens of Jane Austen, from the icy Japan of Kawabata’s Snow Country to Von Arnim’s enchanted Italy, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon.

Publishing in four seasonal collections over a year, each of the 48 titles is bound in colourful cloth and stamped with foil, evoking the Victorian bookbinding tradition in which the Clothbound Classics series was first conceived.
