Fixing the classics?

Yay, a book post!  And not a very carefully thought out one, either.

Here are the books I’m recommending (kinda) in today’s post.  As always, if you’re thinking of shopping through Amazon, I’d be grateful if you’d use the links in this post!  I get small percentage of each sale, which I use to try to persuade my children that they’re having a happy childhood.

• Huckleberry Finn
• Beowulf:  A New Telling by Robert Nye
• The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald  This is the one with what must be contemporaneous illustrations by Arthur Hughes.  Some of them are off-puttingly drippy, but some are lovely (so, perfect for the book).

• The Princess and Curdie by George MacDonald
• Sir Gawain and the Green Knight translated by Brian Stone
