Overview:
This gorgeous MinaLima Illustrated Classics boxed set brings together two of the most beloved children's stories ever written: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and The Adventures of Pinocchio. Reimagined by Studio MinaLima, the award-winning design team behind the Harry Potter film graphics, each hardback is packed with vibrant four-colour artwork and playful interactive elements. It's a stunning gift edition that turns two literary classics into a genuine keepsake for young readers and collectors alike.

About the Books:
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz follows young Dorothy Gale, swept by a Kansas tornado into the magical Land of Oz. Alongside the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion, she journeys down the Yellow Brick Road to find the mysterious Wizard, encountering witches, winged monkeys and enchanted forests along the way. First published in 1900, it remains one of the most cherished works of American children's literature, celebrated for its warmth, wit and enduring message about courage, heart and home. In this MinaLima edition, the story is elevated with intricate paper engineering and interactive features that let readers step directly into Oz. The Adventures of Pinocchio tells of a mischievous wooden puppet, carved by kindly Geppetto, who longs to become a real boy. Guided (and misled) by a colourful cast including the Talking Cricket, the Fox and the Cat, Pinocchio's escapades teach hard-won lessons about honesty, temptation and responsibility, his nose growing with every lie. Carlo Collodi's Italian classic, first published in 1883, has delighted generations with its blend of humour, danger and heart. Presented here with MinaLima's signature illustrations and interactive touches, the tale feels freshly discovered. Together, packaged in a beautifully designed slipcase, these two unabridged classics offer hours of immersive reading and re-reading, making them ideal for shared family storytelling, classroom use, or a treasured addition to any young reader's shelf.

About the Authors:
L. Frank Baum (1856-1919) was an American author best known for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the first in his beloved Oz series, which has inspired countless adaptations including the classic 1939 film. Carlo Collodi (1826-1890) was an Italian writer and journalist whose serialised tale of a wooden puppet became The Adventures of Pinocchio, one of the most translated works in the world. Both authors created stories that continue to shape children's literature more than a century after they were first published.
