not only are these my two favorite novels of all time (ok, ok, so i include the Twilight series in there, too), but these editions are 1940's vintage and that lovely shade of teal. even the pages are teal-tipped.
and the covers....sigh. (the Wuthering Heights cover has the most amazing illustration of Heathcliff beside a wonderfully craggy tree).
if you have not read either, you must!
both this mirror and handkerchief came from the estate of my great-great Aunt Leaflet (the table, too, if you remember). so sweetly simple, yet such beauty (hmm..a lot like Jane Eyre).
well now, it's tea time for me, so i bid you good night, dear readers!

I have that same version of "Wuthering Heights" (but not "Jane Eyre"). Even though I have other copies of "Wuthering Heights", I couldn't pass this one by. The woodcut-like illustrations are so fitting: dark, foreboding, and ominous.
i concur!
Beautiful photography.
