As an amateur typography nerd, I was so excited to see Puffin’s new “Chalk” line of reprinted classic children’s books. I was thinking this could be a really cool way to convert my existing classic children’s books to something that looks a bit more classy, darker and grownup on my bookshelves. (I still maintain a children’s bookcase or two in my home, but I’m editing my personal collection that I store in my bedroom and treasure).
I don’t really care for “Pippi Longstocking” and don’t own it, so I’ll wait to see what other books they reprint in the series. (Oh how I hope they do “The Secret Garden!”)
And not arriving until (sigh) March 2014:
