Peapod Classics is a new, handy-sized, occasional series from Small Beer Press re-introducing books that we love so much—books we missed being able to find in our favorite book shops—that we had to bring them back into print. There will be all kinds of books in the series. If you've enjoyed this book and would like to suggest a title for the series, visit our website at peapodclassics.com and send us a line. Thanks for reading.
Naomi Mitchison
Travel Light (1931520043) $12
Halla's travels take her from the darkest medieval forests to the intrigues of early modern Constantinople. A fabulous novel which will appeal to fans of Diana Wynne Jones, Harry Potter, and T. H. White's The Sword in the Stone.
"A 78-year-old friend staying at my house picked up Travel Light, and a few hours later she said, ‘Oh, I wish I'd known there were books like this when I was younger!’ So, read it now—think of all those wasted years!"—Ursula K. Le Guin (Gifts)
Carol Emshwiller
Carmen Dog (1931520089) $14
A sharp-eyed look at men, women, and the world we live in. This is the funny, feminist classic that inspired writers Pat Murphy and Karen Joy Fowler to create the James Tiptree Jr. Memorial Award. We are very pleased to publish it as the debut title in our new Peapod Classics line.
"A first novel that combines the cruel humor of Candide with the allegorical panache of Animal Farm."
