This substantial Regent Classics collection brings together twenty-four enduring works of 19th- and early 20th-century literature, uniting adventure, romance, historical fiction, and moral narrative in a uniform mid-century format. Ranging from the high adventure of Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, through the sweeping historical dramas of Dumas and Dickens, to the imaginative worlds of Lewis Carroll and the psychological depth of George Eliot and Herman Melville, the set offers a broad survey of the literary canon that shaped popular and serious reading alike. The inclusion of children's and juvenile classics such as Heidi, What Katy Did, The Children of the New Forest, and The Coral Island further reflects the series' aim to present accessible, well-loved stories for readers of all ages.
Published by The Thames Publishing Co. in London around 1950, these volumes were designed as an affordable yet handsome home library, with consistent red cloth bindings and clear, readable type. Together they evoke the mid-20th-century tradition of curated "classics" libraries, intended both for regular reading and for display, while preserving narratives that span exploration, moral growth, social critique, and imaginative escape. This collection would particularly appeal to collectors of vintage uniform book sets, admirers of classic English and European literature, and those seeking a nostalgic mid-century library of foundational literary works.
