The Bookish Kind: Book Illustrations

Book Illustrations

Here are two book illustrations from two different books listed in my shop. Can you guess which classic books go with the pictures? The first one should be easy, but the second one isn't as clear.
I love the old illustrations, they do not make books the way they used to!

The first is "Jane Eyre" and the second "Wuthering Heights"

I guessed right! I like the top one best though, even though "Wuthering Heights" is my favorite. It's so dramatic and full of motion.

Hi Grace,
Yes, I definitely like JANE EYRE best here too, as an illustration (and as a book!).
Glad you guessed right :)

Joy

I will never tire of the wind,
be it a cold winter blast
that takes me off guard
with it's bitterness,
or an exhilarating spring or
fall tempest that sweeps me away.
I get caught up in it every time,
...it's as if the wind is calling
my name to come out and play.
The trees become my cohorts,
...those gentle giants that sway
back and forth with delight,
as they gracefully bend to and
fro - they get caught up every time,
too, and are surely clapping their
hands in mirth.
In these moments, I am a
beautiful bird who was made for nothing more than ascending
to the heights where the currents await me. Joy.

For the beauty of the earth
