“Amazon India’s initiative in creating a special Classics store is a great gift for all book lovers on World Book Day. Classics are the cornerstone of literature and especially in India, generations of readers have learnt the art of imagination more from Jane Austen, or William Shakespeare, and indeed all our favourite classics than anything they might have learnt from school or college!
