Projects to Look Forward To:

Folk Tales From Around the World

We have more in common than not. Wisdom and whimsy abound in tales from diverse cultures and Planta Genista Classics is excited to produce beautifully illustrated editions of such tales as Glooscap and the Chickadees, The Monkey and the Crocodile, The Cheetah and the Lazy Hunter, The Monkey Prince, Momotaro, the Iktomi stories of the Lakota and much more.

Tales From Shakespeare

Revolutions and revenants, meddling faeries and ship wrecked seafarers comprise some of the tales Planta Genista plans to produce in up-coming illustrated editions for young readers.

Tales by Hans Christian Andersen

Mermaids, witches and magic potions, a lost little duckling, shoes with a mind of their own, a tin soldier with a heart of gold and a little girl with a hand full of matches and a fire in her heart—all inhabit the world of Hans Christian Andersen.
