Penguin Moderns

We've given Caboodle an early spring clean to bring you a fresh new look – and we’ve introduced some nifty new features, too. To celebrate our shiny new website, we're giving away a set of 50 Penguin Moderns to one lucky Caboodler.

Penguin are publishing fifty £1 books, celebrating the pioneering spirit of their Penguin Modern Classics series. There are authors ranging from Kathy Acker to James Baldwin, Truman Capote to Stanislaw Lem and George Orwell to Shirley Jackson; essays radical and inspiring; poems moving and disturbing; stories surreal and fabulous; taking us from the deep South to modern Japan, New York's underground scene to the farthest reaches of outer space.

To get your hands on 50 of the best classics of the 20th century, enter below.
