About our classic books
You can’t beat a classic, especially if you are looking for a thoughtful Christmas gift. From solving cases with Sherlock Holmes to falling in love with Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, the popularity of classic books proves they stand the test of time. Some of our best-selling classic books include Little Women, Great Expectations, Wuthering Heights and the works of George Orwell and Oscar Wilde. You can find special editions of these titles and more in our Little Black Classics, Clothbound Classics and Modern Classics collections.
