- An in-depth review of four of the Folio Society's Limited Editions in their stunning "Cherished Tales" series (book links below): The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling and the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam by Edward Fitzgerald. Incredible illustrations are by the incomparable Charles van Sandwyk and Niroot Puttapipat.
Several of the volumes in this series have sold out and are now only available second hand, but there are a couple still available new at the time of making this video:

Thanks for watching - this one was a bit ridiculously long (although would believe this is even after I cut out half of the filming, ha! crazy book lady...) - I wanted to show you All The Pretty Pictures! Did anyone actually watch it all the way through?

Amazing. Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing. And by the way, we all know that cats tread wherever they choose!
Sonja Ortiz thanks 😀 but man, that fur gets everywhere! 🙀
This channel has been such a pleasure to find. Thank you for sharing your passion for these books. I am 30 and have only recently learned of the beauty of folio society binding. I will be buying Wind in the Willows soon. And a copy of Alice in Wonderland for a friend.
Thanks so much! FS books are lovely, I am sure you will really enjoy the ones you get, and your friend is very lucky ㋡
Truly amazing books and a wonderful video. Thank you for sharing! :-) [And also, what a lovely cat!]
Pontus Presents Thank you! And yes, she is a magnificent cat - except when she is shedding fur on my LE books... (you have no idea how long it to get that fur off! 😖)
Wonderful books and artists, they'd all be part of my dream library. :) It's really nice to have this overview, all of them together in one video, thank you for your efforts!
Lauras Illustrated Treasures Thanks! FS have really done an incredible job in putting together these volumes!
Such a well done review of these treasures. You really have a way with producing a brilliant review, really does justice to these beautiful books. If you're ever loooking for anyone to inherit your treasured collection...I'm available :D
k bal Thanks, it’s so lovely of you to write such nice things ☺️ (So I’ll add you to the inheritance list 😉)
Video and great collection, I do wish the audio quality was a little better
Thanks - hopefully the audio has improved in later videos!
Absolutely gorgeous books 😍😍
BookCravings Yes, FS have done the most incredible job with these editions - nothing compares!
Hello, are their plans to release more books in this series and do you know which titles? Thanks
Hi! There haven’t been any new volumes in this style released for a few years, and no announcements that there are more books coming. But each book is a stand-alone and different artists are featured, so they might produce more one day. Sorry I can’t be of more help!
Wow 😲 so beautiful 😍
They are really out of this world, aren’t they? Thanks for watching 😀
Does the Alice in wonderland book include through the looking glass?
killerjdog51 No, it’s just the first book 😀
I'm a new book collectioner, sadly i can't have this book. If i could back in time.... ;(
Don’t worry - there are always new beautiful books coming out for you to love 💕
Will you be reviewing the recent Limited Edition release of Hansel & Gretel & Other Stories by Folio Society?
rooivaalk There are a couple of great reviews already of the FS Hansel & Gretel (e.g. check out the one by Book Cravings) if you’re interested in it - I try not to duplicate other videos if I see them, unless I think I have something new to add. It’s a gorgeous book. The FS Hansel & Gretel is a facsimile and not in series with the other books in this video though, if you were wondering.
Hi. What are the other 2 books not mentioned
Hi! I shared photos of all the books, including the ones not in the video, in the accompanying article here: beautifulbooks.info/2018/03/folio-societys-cherished-tales-series-of-limited-editions/
