Old Story, New Illustrations

I searched for a thread about this, but I am too lazy to look very hard, so hope this isn't too much of a repeat.

I reviewed an Early Reviewer advance reader edition of The Golden Key by George MacDonald. This story was first published in 1867. The edition I read has illustrations by Ruth Sanderson. I will tell you right now, the illustrations are the best part of this book IMO. She is on the way to making my list of "favorite illustrators."

Any stories you want to add which have been reinvigorated by new illustrations?

>1 MrsLee: I missed this thread, five years ago!

I'm going to think on this a bit, see what I can come up with.

I haven't read it yet but A Humument sort of fits this theme. I'm reasonably sure that more people have read the various editions of Tom Phillips' "treated" book than ever read the original A Human Document by WH Mallock.

I’ve made a study of Helen Ward’s illustrations; especially her wonderful treatment of the fables by Aesop and LaFontaine.
