Ruben Toledo Covers the Classics

Looking to convince some aesthetically astute youngsters to read the classics? Penguin can help. The publisher recruited one of our favorite graphic artists, Ruben Toledo, to create illustrations for the covers of a new trio of Penguin Classics, reports Galleycat senior editor Ron Hogan (via Nylon). In addition to Emily Brontë‘s Wuthering Heights (at left), Toledo brought his signature à la mode elegance to The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
