Barnes and Noble: Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, illustrated by Ruben Toledo - Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition Series
1 recommendation
"Although I adore my tattered copy of Wuthering Heights (as well as the deeply dark love story within), Toledo's illustrations give the story even deeper, darker goth appeal. A splendid gift for any Bronte fan . . . or as an introduction for a fan-to-be."

""On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." (It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye). So speaks the fox in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's most famous book, "The Little Prince." I love this book, and I love this figure. Some toys aren't only for kids."
