I love Arthur Rackham! Thanks!

[GrannyGrump]

So glad to greet a fellow fan. I have been working through many of the books illustrated by Rackham, and enjoying it very much. More coming down the pipeline if I can find usable images!

I appreciate these too! The little "Mobileread edition" is cute. Did you create the covers yourself using interior illustrations? Or are these based on actual physical book scans?

[GrannyGrump]

Why, thank you! I am so glad you are enjoying the books.

The covers for "Hansel" and for "Little Brother" are adapted from actual scans of covers with the "gilt" vignette. I couldn't get the scan colors to look presentable, so converted to silhouette.

Somewhere there is a Snowdrop cover with a gilt vignette of the girl and the evil stepmother in the same style, but I only found a bad bad 400px wide smashed and smeary jpeg. So the "Snowdrop" cover is a mashup of interior chapter head, titlepage, and Little Brother cover.
