Part of Penguin’s beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality, colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.

As the rays blaze towards them, it soon becomes clear they have no choice but to flee – or die.

The forces of the Earth, however, may prove harder to beat than they at first appear …
