Fabulous covers, continued



 It's Freewheelin' Friday! 
Dedicated to Artistic Endeavors of all Sorts

     I've waxed poetic in past blogs on my love of children's book illustration, illustrators & the influence of the Golden Age (Howard Pyle et al) Now comes a salute to Greg Call, some covers evocative of N.C.Wyeth but so fabulously his own.

Till now my favorite has been
The Fantastic Secret of Owen Jester
(full disclosure: it's dedicated to moi)












It's an October release so you'll have to wait but you can oogle & Google Barbara O'Connor's book & Greg Call's design or hit the links right here.

I adore Greg Call and am so lucky to have had him do art for my books.

He did your covers, Barbara??? I should have recognized his style. He did the Brixen Witch cover too!
