Cover Story
On our cover this month we feature an illustration from The Swineherd, a picture book version of the Andersen fairy tale by artist Lisbeth Zwerger. (Neugebauer Press, 0 907234 127, £3.95 from A. and C. Black). We are grateful to A. and C. Black for help in using this illustration. The roundel used on the Hans Andersen pages is from the wood engraving by Gwen Raverat for Four Tales, translated by R. P. Keigwin, C.U.P. (1935). It and the Punch cartoon on page 16 appear in Brian Alderson's pamphlet Hans Christian Andersen and his Eventyr in England.

A re-issue of a collection of tales for reading aloud to the very young, originally entitled Folk Tales for Reading and Telling this book has long been a reliable source for story time in the infant classroom and since the demise of the Piccolo edition a paperback has not been available: so this 'Magnet' is doubly attractive.
