The Thief of Love

Calla Editions just keeps amazing me. We carry their amazing line of illustrated classics at Castle in the Air, and their latest -- Louise Saunders and Maxfield Parrish's The Knave of Hearts -- sang its love song to me from the shelf this week.

I remember reading an earlier edition of this fable as a child, each of Parrish's timeless, lush illustrations drawing me deeper into the whimsical and dramatic world of the King and Queen of Hearts. Whether or not someone's stolen your tarts, you can dive in and lose yourself there, too.

Happy Valentine's Day!
