Cover Story
The illustration on the cover of this issue is from the new Bodley Bookshelf edition of Penelope Farmer's The Summer Birds. We think Paul Geiger's artwork catches exactly the magic of that delightful book. We are grateful for the help of The Bodley Head in using this illustration. For details of the book and more about Penelope Farmer, turn to May We Recommend... on page 14.

'What you can do is more important than what you look like,' is the message of this story and the pronouncement of the king to the three hens who sought his advice as to which of them is most beautiful. There are jokes, both obvious and less so, from cover to cover of this marvellous book whose tongue-in-cheek humour and beautiful paintings will delight all who have a taste for the slightly off beat.
