Thank you for taking us on a tour of your classics bookshelves. I so enjoyed the trip :) One book I think you should look out for is the Puffin in Bloom version of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The illustrations are beautiful, and next to the original classic by John Tenniel, they are my favorite❤
thank you so much for watching 🥰 and yes, I'd love to get that edition! so beautiful ✨
i love that you do these videos annually. watching one a few years ago, you showed the faber classics edition of tess, which is the edition i ended up buying!!
ohh right, I remember that 🥰
I love tours of bookshelves, especially classics! My favorite editions have to be either the penguin black classics or the wordsworth classics. I hope you have an awesome holiday, Mary! ♥️✨
They're beautiful! Thank you lovely, and you too 🩷✨️
Do you like the Wordsworth black ones? Because I’m scared to buy them due to the font.
Gorgeous collection:) The Seasons are my favorite and I was exited when they announced they were re-releasing Pride and Pride and Prejudice along with Nortanger Abbey and Mansfield Park. One other edition I would recommend if you're looking for one in future is the Everyman's Library edition.
thank you so much, Tasha 🥰 oh yes, those are gorgeous as well!
I bought Little Women from the Wordsworth Edition, I had not seen that cover before I watched your video and I had been looking for a pretty edition. Thank you.
I'm glad it helped! 🥰
Like you, I am also collecting the penguin paperback editions and hardbacks because I adore them
they're so beautiful! ahh yes, that was disappointing :c
You should definitely give A Clockwork Orange a go! It’s hard to get into it at first because the writing style is incredibly unique, but once you get the gist of it it’s so, so worthy! It’s a one of a kind book :)
interesting!! thank you for sharing your thoughts 🥰✨️
I have that same red edition of Anna Karenina! Your collection is so beautiful 🥰❤️
they're so pretty! 🥰✨️
Haha, I always confuse "Crime and Punishment" with "Pride and Prejudice" 😅😅😅. I even tend to say "Pride and Punishment" a lot 😅😅😅 (that would be a good one, where a very proud man is punished to live the rest of his life with a chatty mother-in-law 😂)
hahaha I would read that book 😝
I love your classics videos! Your previous one was the one that made me discover your channel and it also inspired me to get this beautiful Sisterhood edition of Heidi. :)
aww that's lovely! ❤️
What a gorgeous collection!
thank you! 🥰✨
I’ve read and loved a lot of Edith Wharton, but I’m afraid you won’t like her books much. I think you’ll strongly dislike the main character of The House of Mirth 😅 You talking Portugese is so gorgeous. I remember always hearing Fado everywhere when visiting Portugal. It’s beautiful.
aww thank you
video I love all your classic editions! I adore classics and I have quite a lot of those as well I love the penguin origianl classics editions too because they have such a warm/cozy flair to them 🥰your Greek Mytoholody collection 😍😍they are gorgeous! I hope you are doing well ~ Have a wonderful day Mary 🌸 tons of hugs!
yes that's it, they're very cosy and warm! thank you dear Kasumi, hope you're doing well ❤️
Lovely collection.
thank you! ✨
I love this collection. I love this video. I love the way you talk you speak I just love it❤ I just followed you you are amazing and cannot wait for more videos❤
you're so kind, thank you dear Adriana 💚
Excellent tour of your Classics collection, except now I'm going to have nightmares after seeing the cover of Grimms's Little Red Riding Hood!😁💝
hahah it's very creepy 👻
I love hearing you speak in Portuguese, so beautiful ❤️
thank you so much 🥰
@@MaryAmongStories I know Spanish and a little German but unfortunately I don’t know Portuguese, I wish I did!
Oh no my comment got eaten! I think I said something about enjoying the fact that you have so many collections of editions you are gathering when you find them. And that I am happy to see some shakespeare for your future as well
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying A Clockwork Orange to some extent! looking forward to hearing your final thoughts ✨
🎯A gorgeous,valuable & most beautiful collection of books,Mary.
They are a magical doorway to great minds,wisdom & understan-
ing of our human psyche.I see that
'smelling books' is familiar for all book lovers.Much bestwishes.🌟♾️🌟💐..
absolutely! 🥰

I first became interested in Pessoa after watching a documentary about how he and a very well-known greek poet, Kavafis accidentally met on a cruise ship to America in 1928. I believe a documentary about it was made in Portuguese too. Anyway, I have had the Book of Disquiet for years, but every time I try reading it I am moved to tears, I don't know why!
oh my gosh that documentary sounds so interesting! ahh Pessoa can have that effect on you 🧡
I am told that The Clockwork Orange is a book with 21 chapters, broken into 3 sections of 7 chapters each. The movie stops at chapter 20, to appeal to the American audience. The final chapter totally changes the whole perspective and meaning of the book (and rather the opposite of the movie). Because of the flowerful invented language, it can be a difficult read.
Without really knowing what you have read or liked in depth, I will make these recommendations. I see the ones that you own, but it was sometimes difficult to know which ones you read versus unread. I would recommend Homer's Odyssey and the Iliad, because it is referenced so many times, either directly or indirectly. It would build a solid foundation to Western Literature. It also depends upon which translation you use. Research THAT before digging into those two (I am unsure if you are reading English or Portuguese translation).
I also recommend The Count of Monte Cristo. A very fast read and in my top 1% ( I think I read it in less than a week). So many plot lines are stolen from this book. You may find it interesting to discover that your favorite action/fantasy book or movie with a unique plot or twist actually has borrowed it from this book.
thank you for the recommendations, I actually plan to read The Count of Monte Cristo this year!
💛💛

Ammmmmmmazing collection ❤️
thank you! 💕🌻
