The Wizard of Oz: And Other Wonderful Books of Oz: The Emerald City of Oz and Glinda of Oz Baum Lyman Frank (2024)

Storytelling has many traditions, whether through pen and paper or needle and thread. Penguins award-winning art director Paul Buckley presents Penguin Threads, a series of Penguin Classics Deluxe Editions inspired by handmade crafts and featuring specially commissioned cover art. Jillian Tamakis embroidered artwork appears on The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, Emma by Jane Austen and Black Beauty by Anna Sewell. This set features three beloved classics for adults and children, with cover art by painter and illustrator Rachell Sumpter. Sketched in a traditional illustrative style, the covers are sculpted and embossed and display hand-stitched designs across the front and back. Through story, style and texture, Penguin Threads represents an exciting chapter in Penguins long tradition of distinguished book design for lovers of books, design and handcrafted beauty.
