There are certain books that you can read over and over. Most of the ones that I can pick up and always enjoy, no matter how old I am, are classic children novels. What Katy Did was always one of my favourites, that I’ve read so many times in so many forms (battered paperback in primary, battered hardback that I read hidden on my knees in science class (Yeah, I got caught and told off. Yes, this is as bad ass as I ever was at school.), and more recently on my Kindle on the bus)
I also loved A Little Princess and Anne of Green Gables, so when I saw the new Puffin in Bloom series, I debated buying them for all of about 10 seconds. Designed by Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co., the covers are beautiful and fit with each books theme.
Rifle Paper Co. is a bit of a blogger favourite, so I’m hoping they’ll add more books to the series.

Oh god, these are so pretty! I re-read Anne of Green Gables last year and adored it as much as I did when I read it as a child. What Katy Did is one of my faves, too! Have you read the other three in the series?
These are so beautiful! I really love the style a lot of publishers are moving towards at the moment. Despite how much I love my kindle, nothing beats a beaut copy like this!

Ooh those are gorgeous! I loved What Katy Did too. Think I may need to start building up Arianwen’s future library (not sure how many more times I can read The Tiger Who Came to Tea, great as it is)!
