This book caught my eye because of the beautiful image on the cover. The book was first published in 1909, but our copy is the first illustrated edition in 1925. Frank C. Pape was a well known illustrator whose work is often associated with fairy tales. The images in Penguin Island are filled with fanciful detail, humor, and imagination. This book is beautifully printed with the use of historiated letters at the start of each chapter. Find it in our stacks – Call number PQ2254.I42 1925!
