Vintage Children's Classics is a twenty-first century classics list aimed at
and shaped by 8-12 year olds, and the adults in their lives. It is a broad,
affordable selection of books that will inspire a life-long love of reading;
these stories that have secured a place in the hearts of thousands.
After conducting extensive research and speaking to both children and parents about what they want on their shelves, we've created books with timeless, irresistible appeal: colourful, character-driven cover images, concise and engaging blurb, original and unabridged texts with beautiful illustrations and maps throughout. All of our classics contain exclusive extra material
-- the 'Backstory' -- with quizzes, activities and fascinating facts about the
books and their authors.

We know that story-hungry children don't want the adventure
to end. In August, Vintage Classics will launch 'World of Stories' http://www.worldofstories.co.uk - a dedicated interactive website for Vintage Children's Classics with fun quizzes, downloads and extra material for children to find out more about the stories.

The launch list of twenty titles will be published in August 2012 and will feature perennial favourites such as Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden and Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island alongside much-loved contemporary classics exclusive to Random House including The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne. A further twenty titles will be published by the end of 2012 with more titles in the following years. Each of the books will be available in both print and ebook format

The Vintage Children's Classics are books to be given as gifts, and passed down the generations. We hope this trailer gives a flavour of what makes Vintage Children's Classics truly special.
