The Penguin Classics Book by Henry Eliot

Penguin Classics' creative editor is Henry Eliot. He has spent the last decade absorbed in literature, organizing a major public pilgrimage for the National Trust inspired by William Morris, recreating Chaucer's Canterbury Tales to raise money for the National Literacy Trust, and leading a series of literary tours, including a Lake Poets tour of Cumbria and a quest for the Holy Grail based on the works of Arthurian legend. For three years, he served as a trustee of the William Blake Literary Society. He is the author of two books: Follow This Thread, a maze-like book about the history and psychology of mazes, and Curiocity, an illustrated book of unexpected London adventures and experiences, co-written with Matt Lloyd-Rose.
