Thanks for sharing, the cover looks lovely! An interesting departure (pun intended) from Coralie's usual style of repeating patterns. :-)

Does anyone know if there are any plans to include Black authors in this clothbound collection? Still can't believe we don't have any!

Alexandre Dumas was black, but now this series has published books from the mid 20th century it opens up more possibilities for more Black authors. I dont know what criteria Penguin use for which books to add to this collection but my first pick would be Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man.

Monkey King: Journey to the West (9780141393445) will be available on 11 Feb 2021.
