"A Beautiful Classic" according to C. Bach. A classic with beautiful illustrations and interesting notes. Perfect choice for readers of classical literature.. Excellent Choice D Wonderful insight from the biography to the footnotes - nice choices for illustrations as well.I have likes all of the "annotated" series that I have read so far and hope to collect them all.I am a history lover, an art lover and a children's book lover so this series hits all of that.. "beautiful book" according to The Book Princess. I loved reading this aloud to my daughter - it has lots of illustrations and notes which help since the story is so old and set in other countries. I plan on giving these as gifts.
