She’s in a Welsh medium school and favourites in Welsh include the Na! Nel series by Meleri Wyn James and Mererid Hopwood’s Miss Prydderch series.Īs much as I encourage her to indulge her love of contemporary children’s fiction, I’ve also been keen to introduce her to children’s classics – including some of my own childhood favourites. She adores Jill Murphy’s Worst Witch collection and also enjoys Rachel Renee Russell’s The Dork Diaries and Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. She has such a love of reading and constantly has her nose in one book or another and is always thrilled at any opportunity to add to her growing literary collection.Ĭurrent favourites include anything and everything by Jacqueline Wilson, David Walliams, Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl, all of whose books she re-reads continually. When I asked my daughter what she wanted for her ninth birthday her reply was an unequivocal “lots of books”.

You may check out the full list on this link: ’s-editions The Wordsworth Collector’s Edition Classics currently have 29 titles. Though in terms of binding they may not have an heirloom-caliber per se, the quality of these books is praiseworthy. These books definitely make a perfect gift idea. Not to mention, the set really looks gorgeous on the shelf, plus, they are really affordable. The stunning design and excellent readability make these books worth having.

The Wordsworth Collector’s Edition Classics are phenomenal.

Also, at the price point of only £6.99 for each book, I believe you are definitely getting more than what you pay for! Nevertheless, with careful use and proper shelving, I believe these books will endure time. In buying books I always consider the binding especially if I want my children to inherit them. These books have a glued binding which unfortunately does not hold well in the long run. The only downside that I would like to point out in this set is the binding. Character spacing varies per book but they are all nicely laid out. Texts are also printed large at around 10-point font, and the typefaces used are very readable. I like the highly opaque paper that does not glare under direct light. Readability-wise, these books offer a wonderful reading experience. With a trim page size of 178 x 129 mm, each book is very handy and easy to carry. What I love most about the Wordsworth Collector’s Edition Classics is that they are compact and lightweight. Texts and some intricate details on the cover have been stamped with gold foil which is absolutely stunning! On the back of each book, you’ll read short quotations taken from the respective novels that will thrill you to dig in. Beautifully reflecting what’s written inside, each showcases fancy and very attractive cover illustrations by Claire Shorrock. Each book is bound in a cloth-over-board cover and follows a complementing color scheme which makes the whole set look fabulous on the shelf. If you are the kind of person who takes covers into consideration when buying books, you will surely love this set! This series of classic books have a very thoughtful and creative cover design. In this review, I am featuring 10 titles – all written by women - from the Wordsworth Collector’s Edition Classics series. This follows my review of the outstanding Thomas Nelson Seasons Edition classics. As promised, today I am reviewing another set of classic novels.
