Well Read Women: Portraits of Fiction's Most Beloved Heroines

The book, Well Read Women: Portraits of Fiction's Most Beloved Heroines, just landed on my doorstep courtesy of my friend Paula Smail. The book features illustrations of famous fictional women - everyone from Alice in Wonderland to Thackeray's Becky Sharpe - and their famous quotes. Although I have to say that Becky Sharpe is more obnoxious than beloved. 

I've shared three of my favorite portraits from the book here Nancy Drew (above); Patrick Dennis' Auntie Mame and Victor Hugo's Cosette (below).
