CHOOSE A CAPUCHIN CLASSIC
We're proud to have given a new life to many fine works of literature, but are always looking for more recommendations.
To this end, we invite Capuchin readers to submit suggestions for suitable titles, namely works of fiction (novels, novellas or collections of short stories) of a literary quality to justifying their designation as 'classics', and which are not widely available in paperback editions.
If your title is published by us, we would be delighted to offer you a free copy of every Capuchin title published over the calendar year in which your choice appears - usually 20 books.
Please e-mail your suggestions to info@capuchin-classics.co.uk, with 'New Capuchin' in the heading, and note that, regrettably, we won't be able to respond to each individual suggestion.

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.
The Capuchin series, flowing at a planned 18 titles a year, is opening with fiction,
with other categories including travel, biography and belles lettres in view.
