Changing view of books
Posted by Rachel

Just for fun.

Here is a scan of a 1926 version of Perrault’s fairytales.

Here are some favorite covers of the past year.

Note the changes in style over the decades. It's even more distinctive when you look through the entire list of this year's covers. And I highly recommend going through the Perrault; it's a scanned copy of the entire book and absolutely gorgeous.

I just wanted to share.

Oh, and here's an interesting definition of epic fantasy.
