Preorder A WONDER BOOK

A collaboration millennia in the making: the paintings of master artist Das Pastoras merge with Nathaniel Hawthorne’s heroic adaptation of Greek myths in a new edition of the book that reimagined these epic tales for young readers. 

This exquisite edition of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s bestselling book of myths, A WONDER BOOK, illuminated with magnificent art by Das Pastoras will transport readers into these beloved timeless tales. Featuring original essays by Guillermo Del Toro, José Villarubia and and Kate Bernheimer -- as well as the uniquely Victorian flourish of tipped-in illustration plates allowing us to use a different paper stock ideal for reproducing the lush and gorgeous colors of Das Pastoras paintings -- this handsome volume joins Beehive’s ongoing ILLUMINATED EDITIONS series of oversized slipcase art book reinventions of classic literary works.
