Penguin to redesign Steinbeck books

Penguin Books has acquired the rights to publish the complete works of Nobel Prize-winning author John Steinbeck and is issuing a redesigned set of six of his best-selling titles on 26 April. Covers for Of Mice and Men, The Grapes of Wrath, East of Eden, The Pearl, The Red Pony and Cannery Row are designed by Jonny Hannah, inspired by elements of each novel. Steinbeck’s novel The Pearl features illustrations by José Clemente Orozco.
