John Cowper Powys' One Hundred Best Books

John Cowper Powys' One Hundred Best Books. In 1916, author John Cowper Powys published his list of the 100 "best books" - essentially his favorite works.
NOTE: In his original publication, Powys specified what editions and translations would be best for readers. Unfortunately, some of these editions (and even the titles) are long out of print and impossible to get images of. I have tried to include editions that are as close to Powys original vision as possible
