End Paper: the young mad read to her from a small book.details

The end-papers (inside the covers) are printed with an untitled design signed by the author. The picture shows a mediaeval scene: a young lady on an ornate seat in front of a log fire; behind her is an arch that might lead to a bed, or perhaps to a minstrel’s gallery. A young man wearing a cap is reading from a book, one hand raised as if emphasising his text.
