Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings to spotlight and talk about the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally, they are books that have yet to be released but don't have to be. It is based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous at Breaking the Spine.
Stories for Seafarers brings together three timeless tales in one beautiful collection:
- Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island offers classic swashbuckling charm.
- H. G. Wells' The Sea Lady delivers satirical social commentary in the guise of a mermaid story.
- Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is a kaleidoscopic tour of the ocean and a fascinating character study.
In irresistible editions designed for a luxurious reading experience with creamy paper and rounded spines, these stories will appeal to anyone who knows the power of the sea. Stunning wraparound cover illustrations by artist Jim Tierney make this classic book set a distinctive gift and an ideal display piece for any bookshelf.

Why I'm Waiting: Okay, box sets are not normally my thing, but two of the books are favorite classics of mine. So that got my attention, also how gorgeous these covers are. Even though I haven't read the Jules Verne novel included in this, I still want, because if the illustrations inside or anything like the covers...
