I love the fact that new adult colouring are constantly being published. Fans of English literature will love the new colouring books based on classic tales, from Little Tiger Press. You can bring to life the greatest love stories of all time and indulge your creativity with these sumptuous colouring books based on William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.
William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet
On the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, Little Tiger Press celebrates one of his most iconic plays, Romeo and Juliet. Be transported to fair Verona, where we set our scene. Featuring iconic quotations from the original play, as well as an intriguing insight into poisons, potions and the world of the apothecary. Find the motifs hidden throughout the illustrations.
Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice
Fall in love with Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice all over again with this elegant colouring book, featuring iconic scenes. Be transported to Pemberley’s spectacular grounds and vibrant Netherfield balls, and bring to life elegant portraits of Elizabeth and Mr Darcy. The Victorian language of flowers has been woven into the designs throughout the book – the meanings of which are explained in a guide at the back. Stunning line work brings to life carefully researched period features and costume as well as the English countryside.
With handpicked quotations from the stories on every spread, these colouring books are perfect for any fans of the Classics. High quality paper ensures your colouring will not show through and you can even colour in the covers. You can share your finished projects on social media using the #ColouringClassics.
