‘I wish I were a girl again, half savage and hardy ‘I wish I were a girl again, half savage and hardy, and free.’ - Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights.

We’re big fans of The Folio Society, publishers of exquisite hardback editions of classic books, with an emphasis on traditional bookbinding and printing techniques.

This beautiful edition of Wuthering Heights is blessed with a lyrical introduction by Patti Smith and the hauntingly lovely illustrations of Rovina Cai | @foliosociety @rovinacai | #Bookstoker 

See link in bio for more of our Folio Society recommends! ♥️
