I love this book cover for a large number of reasons, from the rainbow of noble colours, to the mini-horses galloping around the bottom, to the hair. (The hair!) This cover sets off a whole bunch of positive vibes and I'm just trying to catch all of them. Purple leaves, majestic horses, intricate uniforms, gold touches, high necks, sassy attitudes, bold brooches, sparkling rings, bright necklaces, untarnished moustaches, and the hair. (The hair!) The combination enthrals.
Artists, Leo and Diane Dillon created cover illustrations for many books that were not first editions as well as being prominently known as the world’s pre-eminent illustrators for young people. As told by the New York Times, the two produced artwork that was praised for its vibrancy, ecumenicalism and sheer sumptuous beauty. A seamless amalgam of both their hands. I couldn't leave out the rest of their illustrations dedicated to this book, so please marvel at the below.
