I.
Adapted Traditional Tales
Folktales of Europe, carried into English not by literal translation but by the kind of ear that listens for what a work, in its own tongue, was trying to say.
Independent Literary Imprint
Books from a world
that has vanished,
yet continues to shape
how we remember beauty.
Lido House Editions publishes works that resonate with a lost sensibility — carefully adapted traditional tales, literary works of enduring value that have fallen out of print, and contemporary writing that remains faithful, in aesthetic and in moral imagination, to the fin‑de‑siècle Europe whose air still travels, however faintly, to those who care to breathe it.
An imprint in preparation. First editions forthcoming, Summer 2026.
What We Publish
II.
Out-of-Print Literary Works
Literary works of enduring value that have fallen quietly out of print — restored to careful and considered editions.
III.
Contemporary Writing in the Same Spirit
New work that remains faithful, in aesthetic and in moral imagination, to the world we evoke.
We are not bound by period, but by spirit.
Current Edition · Forthcoming
The Prince and The Land Where No One Grows Old
A literary adaptation of a traditional European folktale, from the collection of Petre Ispirescu — illustrated for readers ages 8–12, in the visual tradition of Bilibin, Rackham, and Dulac.
Further titles are in preparation, drawn from the literary and folkloric traditions of Europe — older works restored, and contemporary writing in the same spirit.
Lido House Editions is, by intention, a modest endeavor. We see our work as a small addition to a longer, ongoing act of remembrance — a shared effort, among those who care, to preserve and to rearticulate a cultural inheritance that continues to speak, quietly, across the interval of time.
