'Capuchin Classics are "Books to Keep Alive". A driving sense of discovery lies at the heart of Capuchin: reviving great works of fiction which have been unjustly forgotten or neglected. This founding ethos - restoring a richness to the canon in an era of relative blandness - is coupled by a sprinkling of well known favourites to form a series which holds wide appeal. Each book is introduced afresh by a well known champion or figure of distinction.'
