Collection: World Book Day Malta

World Book Day is the one day a year the whole of Malta talks about children's books — and this collection is our answer to "so what should we actually read?". Classic tales, complete fairy-tale collections and the books behind the costumes, all in one place.

It ranges from Hans Christian Andersen Complete Fairy Tales — the source code for half the costumes in the playground — to Wordsworth Classics editions of Nineteen Eighty-Four, Emma and Oliver Twist for older students discovering the canon for the first time.

Dress-up day passes; the book that started it stays on the shelf for years. That's the trade we're in.
