I like how you list the questions and each book that you mention in your video, because it gives us a taste of what we are going to expect in your video. As for the video itself, I definitely enjoyed it! I agree that Romeo & Juliet is incredibly overhyped, especially when it is applied to ideal relationships, because it is NOT ideal. Shakespeare seemed to be mocking at that idea as well. Anyway... I would probably say that I do my best in getting the same edition, but would pick something up if it was a reasonable price. You have quite the classics collection! -Josh

Great video-- I love this tag, so thank you for tagging me! I'm interested to find that adaptation of Little Dorrit now- I've never seen it, and I'm obsessed with tv adaptations. I love your old editions of classics- such beautiful books and illustrations. And yay for E. Nesbit!

Nice tag!
I have the same attitude about bying classics. More old and varied they look the better.

Was the the fairytale the one that started with the polar bear coming to this house and essentially trying to buy the daughter of the farm? And it ending with the girl having to find the would-be-husband with the help of the winds and such. Or do i remember something different? Seriously the trouble with listening to collection of fairytales is that I completely forget the titles of each story.
