The Bewitched Lamp by Mrs. Molesworth: Interesting Book Covers

Or rather this should be "Beautiful Book Covers"!

A Suffolk Calendar by Allan Jobson

'A Suffolk Calendar' by Allan Jobson; with a very good cover design.

Discovering Old Bicycles

 

I came across a photo of this Shire Album book cover and think it looks an interesting, attractive little book.

The Folklore Of The Cotswolds

 

From my Interesting Book Covers series.  I bought this many years ago on holiday, I think from the 15th Century Bookshop in Lewes, Sussex.  It's an excellent volume in the Folklore Of The British Isles series by the great and legendary folklorist Katharine Briggs.  The artwork is striking and very good, but no matter how many times I see the cover, that face is rather alarming!

Brasses and Brass Rubbing

 

This is a handsome little hardcover book with a beautiful cover image of medieval brasses of a knight and lady. 

The Folklore of East Anglia

My Folklore and Interesting Book Covers series:

I've been collecting the Folklore of the British Isles series of books, which were published in the seventies.  These are worth picking up when you come across one, the cover art and illustrations inside are very good and mysterious.  Indeed I have quite a lot of folklore books and they are always fascinating to read.
