I love this Moon of Gomrath cover mainly because its the one I read as child in the late 60s
I would love if Colin and Susan went back to Alderley Edge and retraced their steps and were caught up in another adventure.

If you are reading this Alan Garner I’m sure I’m not alone in wanting to know waht became of them

I think, as an 11-year-old I was not so bothered about fonts – I could probably only barely do ‘joined-up-writing’! – I’m sure it was Fenodyree’s stare against all the hazy blues and over that mysterious glowing cup that drew me to the book in the first place; and then I read the back of it, and maybe the first page or two… W. H. Smith in Coventry, probably, is where I bought it. At any rate, nearly 40 years later, it’s still a book that’s important to me. Thank you for that.

With such an ornate title, I was not happy with the font. Times New Roman would have been better.

My pleasure, Bruce. I must say I was intrigued to learn that George Adamson was born in the Bronx… Thanks for reading.

Wow, great covers, thanks for sharing them. Just this afternoon we were discussing some of the artwork on old science-fiction books. These are just terrific. Here's a list of most of Adamson's book illustrations. Bruce from the bookshop blog.
