Aren’t these pretty?
Coralie Bickford-Smith has designed these book covers for Penguin Classics! Coralie describes these books:
“All the books in this series have patterns that adhere to a strict grid…we set up mood boards of visual ideas – textures, ornaments, objects, colours, all inspired by themes from the stories or by the period, or just the novel’s atmosphere…”

They are available from Penguin’s US site here and many others only available in the UK or via the web.
