New for January-March
Six classics for young readers

The book cover for ‘Malgudi Days’ by R. K. Narayan. Abstract artwork showing black silhouettes of people walking down a road toward the bright sun, with trees framing the road to either side, takes up the top two thirds of the cover. Below it is a black background where the title and author’s name are displayed, and a smaller white background with text that reads, ‘Penguin Classics’.

Enjoy our new list of reads for young readers, offering reality, adventure and enchantment in many lands

Behind the dots are colourful abstract shapes, and near the bottom there is an orange shape with grey wavy lines emanating from it like roots or whiskers.
