I want this for my very own! I’ve never read it, just seen the movie (which I am madly in love with), and I’m sure the book is a 1000 times better.
A new edition is coming out - the first US hardcover edition in 14 years. It will have three new illustrations by Charles Vess in it. He’s doing them now.
It will not look new.
