This is a remarkable selection of 250 beautiful engravings selected from the Doré Bible, together with works by Milton, Dante and Baron Munchausen. An inspiring book adoption for anyone interested in art and literature.

I use the British Library often for research, but I LOVE adopting books as gifts for people. My most recent adoption was in honor of my English professor in college. I am not just a literary scholar because of her influence--I am also a better human being.

My daughter and I both love the ambiance of the British Library and feel proud to be Readers. Supporting the Adopt a Book scheme is the least I can do.
