This took me forever to finish, but it's wonderful. Some items are adapted in total, some partially; some are from stand-alone adaptations, some are done specifically for this volume. Wonderful survey of literatures and introductions to some artists you might not already know.

However, it is clear I would give this entire series a 5 star read for the fact they pick some "must-read" books and for the wonderful art. But this volume again get 4 stars.

also really like the Alice in Wonderland gallery they included. So much beautiful art! The only downside to this volume, and the others, is the fact I don't like some of the samples. I really don't care for philosophical reads, political reads, or science reads. Yes they are very important, but they get boring to me.However, it is clear I would give this entire series a 5 star read for the fact they pick some "must-read" books and for the wonderful art.
