The beloved story of orphan Anne Shirley's adoption by an elderly brother and sister is now available in an exclusive collector's edition featuring:
- A beautiful, high-end hardcover with Laci Fowler's distinctive hand-painted art and embossing/debossing treatments to bring the art to life
- Story details are incorporated into the cover art as surprise finds for the consummate fan
- Decorative interior pages containing quotes throughout
- Matching ribbon marker and gold page edges
When eleven-year-old orphan Anne Shirley is mistakenly sent to live on a farm with siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, Anne finds herself in a real home for the first time in her life. Fiery and spirited, she certainly isn't the sturdy boy they had planned to adopt. Despite her mischief and affinity for finding trouble, the longer Anne stays at Green Gables, the harder it is for the Cuthberts to imagine life without her.
This unique collector's edition delves into time-honored themes, exploring the interplay between imagination and reality, the challenges of societal expectations, and the distinctions between genuine emotion and mere sentiment. L. M. Montgomery's beloved tale of friendship and family is presented in a delightful and giftable new format.
About the series
This is a limited edition collection of classic literature published by Harper Muse.
Each hardback book features wraparound artwork painted by artist Laci Fowler on glossy, sculptured boards, with an interior treatment that includes full page decorative pull quotes. The books also come with a matching ribbon marker and gold sprayed page edges.
The series was originally marketed as the “pretty books” series but that was later changed to the more helpful “painted editions” moniker. As you will see in the video review, I think the books look and feel lovely, but I do have a small issue with the out-of-order placement of the quotes in some of the books.
From the look of the design, I would hazard a guess that this series was inspired by the success of the Seasons Classics, which also reproduce the classics with a distinctive cover design and have similar pull-out quotes throughout the text.
How many books in the Painted Editions series?
They released 12 books in total across three ‘series’ as outlined below. At present, there are no plans to continue the series beyond these titles.
Cover Artist Laci Fowler
It’s nice to see the cover artist getting love and appreciation from the publisher – so often we are drawn to books because of their cover designs yet the details of the artists are often hidden in tiny print on copyright pages. Laci Fowler, a painter based in Nashville, Tennessee, is the artist behind the primarily landscape focussed covers for this series (check out her website and Instagram for more).
