An in-depth review of four of the Folio Society's Limited Editions in their stunning "Cherished Tales" series (book links below): The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling and the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam by Edward Fitzgerald. Incredible illustrations are by the incomparable Charles van Sandwyk and Niroot Puttapipat.
Several of the volumes in this series have sold out and are now only available second hand, but there are a couple still available new at the time of making this video:

Thanks for watching - this one was a bit ridiculously long (although would believe this is even after I cut out half of the filming, ha! crazy book lady...) - I wanted to show you All The Pretty Pictures! Did anyone actually watch it all the way through?

This channel has been such a pleasure to find. Thank you for sharing your passion for these books. I am 30 and have only recently learned of the beauty of folio society binding. I will be buying Wind in the Willows soon. And a copy of Alice in Wonderland for a friend.

Pontus Presents Thank you! And yes, she is a magnificent cat - except when she is shedding fur on my LE books... (you have no idea how long it to get that fur off! 😖)

Hello, are their plans to release more books in this series and do you know which titles? Thanks

@BeautifulBooks 3 жыл бұрын

Hi! There haven’t been any new volumes in this style released for a few years, and no announcements that there are more books coming. But each book is a stand-alone and different artists are featured, so they might produce more one day. Sorry I can’t be of more help!

Will you be reviewing the recent Limited Edition release of Hansel & Gretel & Other Stories by Folio Society?

@BeautifulBooks 5 жыл бұрын

rooivaalk There are a couple of great reviews already of the FS Hansel & Gretel (e.g. check out the one by Book Cravings) if you’re interested in it - I try not to duplicate other videos if I see them, unless I think I have something new to add. It’s a gorgeous book. The FS Hansel & Gretel is a facsimile and not in series with the other books in this video though, if you were wondering.
