Mint Editions (The Children's Library)

Written by Rachel Field, author of the Newberry Award-winning children's book, Hitty, comes a fantastical tale of one girl's journey into a magic pawnshop and the small adventures that lie within. On a cold New Years' Eve night, nine-year-old Prinda Bassett ventures out into the snow in hopes of finding a cure for her dreadfully ill Uncle Oliver. Heading straight to a pawnshop that had been an object of her curiosity, Prinda is excited by two placards in the window that read, "Broomsticks Our Specialty," and "A Small Supply of Magic On Hand For Regular Customers," in faint gold-lettering. Going in, she is greeted by the kind witch Miss Minerva Mac Loon who agrees to make her cure-so long as she can manage the shop while Miss Minerva replenishes her magic. Accepting the terms of the agreement, Prinda takes charge as an assistant of the shop, unknowingly setting herself up for a fantastically eccentric New Years' Eve.

First published in 1913, Eleanor H. Porter's Pollyanna is a classic of children's literature that has charmed readers for over a century. While Pollyana may be recently-orphaned, sent to live in a new town, and left in the care of her emotionally distant aunt, her smile never wavers. Subscribing to her father's philosophy of unyielding optimism via ""the Glad game,"" there seems to be no obstacle that she cannot overcome and no heart she cannot melt. Bringing light and love to her new caretaker, Aunt Polly Harrington, and the town of Beldingsville at large, Pollyanna's kindness and sincerity transforms the community from a dreary, downcast place to one beaming with appreciation and happiness. All seems to have changed for the better until Pollyanna becomes the victim of a serious accident that leaves her paralyzed and tests the limits of her faith in silver linings. On the verge of losing their ray of sunshine, the townsfolk must band together to save the spirit of the young girl who has inspired them all. Professionally typeset with a brand new cover, Pollyanna is a beloved children's novel reimagined for modern readers.

For the woodland creatures, life in the forest is as charming and harmonious as it is treacherous and uncertain. The newest roe deer, born on a beautiful day in spring, is no exception to this rule and must learn to survive on his own after the death of his mother. Bambi, as he is known, is guided with reluctant kindness by the oldest and largest stag in the forest, “Old Prince,” who teaches the fawn how to navigate his home and the tricks of “He.” Considered to be one of the first environmental novels, Felix Salten's Bambi (1923) is a coming-of-age tale for the ages. Professionally typeset with a beautiful cover, this edition of Bambi is a classic of children's literature reimagined for the modern reader.
