Cover Story
Through star filled skies on Christmas Eve Kay Harker, in a sleigh pulled by eight unicorns and driven by Herne the Hunter, returns in triumph to Tatchester. The illustration on the cover of this issue of BfK is by Faith Jaques and is taken from The Box of Delights, a newly illustrated edition of John Masefield's classic children's book, abridged by Patricia Crampton and published by Heinemann, 0 434 95052 1, £7.95. A paperback edition (without colour plates) is available from Fontana Lion (0 00 572415 9, £1.50). We are grateful to Heinemann and Fontana for help in using this illustration.

There are over sixty nursery rhymes in this large format collection published to tie in with the ITV series of the same name. The book is illustrated in bright, garish colours and features the likes of Al E. Gator, Brian Lion, Buzz Tiger and the rest of the TV cast. The rhymes are clearly laid out in large well-spaced print: ideal for children's own reading as well as for sharing with the very young. It is a pity though, that the book has no index.
