Summary

A cover design for a children's book. A line of characters can be seen at the lower foreground.

The background is a fairytale landscape of rolling hills and castles. There is a cloudy sky with a bird to the upper right. The title of the book is inscribed at the upper centre and the publisher's details in a panel at the base.
