Harper Collins Children’s Classics – 4 Book Set

This beautiful HarperCollins Children’s Classics edition of Carlo Collodi’s Pinocchio is the perfect addition to any bookshelf.

When Geppetto carves himself a son from an enchanted piece of wood, the mischievous Pinocchio is born – and a fantastical story begins.

Along the way, Pinocchio is swindled by a fox and a cat, saved by a fairy, turned into a donkey and swallowed by a dogfish, all before he learns what it truly takes to become a real boy . . .

The puppet whose nose grows when he tells a lie has remained one of the most famous children’s characters for over a century, and with editions in around 300 languages Pinocchio is one of the most widely translated books in the world.

This beautiful HarperCollins Children’s Classics edition of E. Nesbit’s Five Children and It is the perfect addition to any bookshelf.

When Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and their baby brother move to the countryside, they encounter ‘It’ – a grumpy, strange-looking Sand-fairy known as a Psammead.

The Psammead can grant the children one wish every day – but whether they request to be beautiful or rich, to fly or live in a castle, it seems every wish is destined to lead the five children into a great deal of trouble . . .

This classic fantasy adventure from the author of The Railway Children is full of magic and mishaps, bringing to life the saying ‘be careful what you wish for’.

This beautiful HarperCollins Children’s Classics edition of J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan is the perfect addition to any bookshelf.
One night, the mythical Peter Pan appears in the nursery of Wendy, John and Michael Darling and an extraordinary adventure begins.

With a sprinkle of Tinker Bell’s fairy dust, Peter teaches the three children to fly and whisks them away to Neverland. There they embark on daring adventures with mermaids, fairies, lost boys – and the vengeful pirate Captain Hook.

Since his creation, J. M. Barrie’s boy who wouldn’t grow up has become a cultural icon, and this witty, imaginative story full of mischief, magic and bravery is one of the best-loved children’s classics of all time.

This beautiful HarperCollins Children’s Classics edition of Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories is the perfect addition to any bookshelf.

Inspired by the bedtime stories Rudyard Kipling told his daughter that had to be recited ‘just so’, this collection includes mythical animal origin stories like ‘How the Camel got his Hump’ and ‘How the Rhinoceros got his Skin’, alongside other playful inventions, such as the reason for the ebb and flow of the tides and how the alphabet was invented.

These rhythmically told, traditional stories appeal to the curious imagination of children, and are some of Rudyard Kipling’s best-known works alongside The Jungle Book.
