O/A CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED DELUXE VOLUME 1: THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS
by Kenneth Grahame & Michel Plessix
The first volume of the Classics Illustrated Deluxe line presents graphic
novelist Michel Plessix’s lush adaptation of The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth
Grahame. The artwork is in aquarelle, with thin, precise, detailed lines.
Plessix breathes life into Mole, Rat, and Toad (of Toad Hall) as they picnic on
the riverbank, indulge in Toad's latest fad, and get lost in Wild Wood. The
pacing is masterful — each panel lingers just long enough to make you appreciate
the simple pleasures of life as the original novel. Available in hardcover and
softcover editions.

beautiful Estella, the bitter Miss Havisham, the goodhearted Biddy, the kind Joe
and other memorable characters entwine in a battle of human nature. Rick Geary’s
delightful illustrations capture the newfound awe and frustrations of young Pip
as he comes of age, and begins to understand the opportunities that life
presents.

of how his father would be disappointed in his actions, Crow has a moment of
sobriety, in which he is able to see his life in the gutter is not as delightful
as he once thought it was. (C: 0-0-1)
