Comments:
Once again, Fred had the opportunity to create a book jacket for a work by one of his favorite authors. This novel was first published in 1958, and was noteable at the time for its reference to homosexuality, rarely dealt with in the period’s literature. For this later edition, Fred returned to use of a classic silhouette, reflecting the demure heroine looking into a small mirror (nope, too early for an iPhone).
