It’s that time again — time for another issue of Shiny New Books, filled with glorious temptation.
This time around, I contributed a review of two Astrid Lindgren reissues: Seacrow Island and Mio My Son, both from the New York Review Children’s Collection. These lesser-known classics from the author of Pippi Longstocking deserve a second look. Please visit SNB to learn why I loved them so much, and have a look round while you’re there. You’re sure to find something you’ll want to read next.

Those covers are just beautiful, they totally make me want to dive in to the books!

They are lovely, and I should perhaps have mentioned that Mio My Son has charming illustrations as well.

As I often by books for children in my family these look good to me and I will likely pick them up.
I never read these as a child or know anyone whop did but they look like great gifts.

They would make excellent gifts. Mio is for a slightly younger audience I would say but they are both wonderful.
