The classics. When it comes to books, especially children’s’ book, the classics are hard to beat.
In this age of digital magic, mass media, social media and instant gratification taking the time to sit down and read a book is becoming more and more uncommon.
As a society we pride ourselves on our cleverness and scientific and cultural advances. Pride might be a misleading description. It’s more like we fool ourselves.
All too often we assume just because something was created decades or hundreds of years ago it is primitive and (let’s be honest) not worth our time to read or look at.
I beg to differ.
Long before TV, movies, social media and the like existed there were writers who were masters of their trade. That’s why so many of the ‘classics’ still hold up today and are required reading for anyone seriously going into writing or journalism.
Thunder Bay Press proudly presents two classic collections of children’s stories both beautifully illustrated by famed artist Arthur Rackham.
