Rediscover Your Favorite Literary Classics

Rare Bird’s Classics Series — a collaboration with Discoveries quote-book author, Michael Ross, champions classic books that have inspired Michael Ross’s vast collection of excerpts from notable works of literary fiction, including new essays from Ross and other contributors, as well as ephemera and illustrations. Some of the Classics Series books are out of print, some are underappreciated; others are well-known — yet all are highly influential, and we look forward to continuing a legacy of appreciating and reappreciating great works for many years to come.
