LOVE the Illustrations5 Oct. 2012

LOVE this book. Bought this in an attempt to introduce my preteen brother to Keats and Tolstoy, but I might end up keeping this for myself.
The illustrations are AMAZING. Some of my current favorites are the ones for Ambrose Bierce's An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge (watercolors, I think. Really beautiful and colorful) and Herman Melville's Moby Dick (surreal, geometric). Some of the artistic interpretations of the works are really interesting (i.e. William Wordsworth's I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud) as well.
The illustrations are varied enough that I think everyone would be able to find something they really like. If you are in any way an Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Fan, there is an entire section devoted to Alice Art!
Overall, highly recommended. I look forward to the release of volume 3!

What you should know before you buy6 May 2013

Here are some things I noticed when I got the books (I bought volumes 1 and 2) that I misunderstood or was misled about when I ordered:
The book is not full color. There are a few sections with full color but there are *way more* sections of black and white and spot color (spot color is one or two additional colors added to a black and white page-- not full color). I had the impression the book was all color. Not even close.
The stories are not complete. Instead of a story, you get a chapter, part, paragraph, or sometimes even just a sentence is illustrated out of a whole work. That's okay, I guess. But again, I had the impression from reading the description that a story or tale was being told, not a fraction of a story. I should have known better, I suppose, but it seems like they could have been honest in the description. Instead of saying "Midsummer Night's Dream" they could have said "the first page of Act Two of Midsummer Night's Dream" or even just "a highlight from" or something like that.
I am enjoying the wide selection from history and the huge variety of styles on display. I recommend these books but I wish they would be honest in the description. I hope this review gives you realistic expectations so you can enjoy these books 100% when you receive them.

Yes, it is as good as NPR said it would be13 Feb. 2013

I wondered how they would possibly get all of these stories into one book, but they are indeed there. A variety of styles of illustration keeps it from getting redundant. It is fun to pick it up, read a quick story and then move onto something else. Quite an enjoyable read.

Not as good as vol 1...31 Jan. 2013

...but still worth buying. The artwork in this volume isn't as good as the art in the first volume, but the editorial notes and the choice of material make reading this book a compelling and enriching experience.

Another excellent book from Russ Kick!! I believe this book more extraordinary than the last. I love the combination of literature and art and how he is rolling along the great works of our past!! I enjoyed this book just as much as the first. I can't wait for the next one to come out. My whole family has enjoyed these works.
