Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible mini 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 they take us from snowy
Japan to springtime Vienna from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island
and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and
printed these collectible editions are bound in colourful tactile cloth and stamped with
foil. Today George Orwell is perhaps most famous for his iconic novels - Nineteen Eighty-Four
and Animal Farm - but in his own time it was his remarkable nonfiction writing which drew most
attention. 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'.
