Wind in the Willows — 1 year ago

Further to my earlier message, I have tentatively made the first update

Added is “Wind in the Willows” by Kenneth Grahame, which is now #1038. More will come.

The source list is my copy of “Penguin Classics : a complete annotated listing” (2008) – I will try and find an online copy to point you all to.

And yes, SouthernBohemian, you were right. After marking a title as consumed, I can add an image.

Missing titles — 1 year ago

While this is a mammoth effort and my heartfelt thanks to the creator, there are some titles missing. For instance, the very first title should be

The Absentee by Maria Edgeworth.

Also missing that I have noted without a thorough comparison is King Solomon’s Mines by H. Rider Haggard, and Kipps by H. G. Wells.

The list source is a wikipedia page. There are two links on the page : one of Penguin Classics, and one for Penguin Modern Classics. You can check my assertions there.

My original info comes from a PDF of “Penguin Classics : a complete annotated listing” which seems originally to have been a paperback production distributed by Penguin freely in the US (ISBN 9780147710901) Wherever I downloaded it from on the web seems to be gone as well, but I could email it to interested readers/list freaks like myself.

Lastly, if someone can point me to instructions on how to load images to these lists, and with the permission of this list’s author, I am happy to add what I can to make the list more definitive.

Regards

Warren

I'm leaving out... — 4 years ago

There are some books that have several different editions (like the prose and verse translations of works such as Beowulf and the Epic of Gilgamesh). I’ve just put one edition on there instead of several different ones. I think its okay to count it if you’ve read either.
