The pictures on those covers were taken from Ruth Gervis's illustrations for the "Caravan Family" series, Nigel. Very strange that they were reused in that way. Some of them were slightly altered for the Malory Towers books.Moonraker wrote:
I had a feeling that these covers were not taken from Malory Towers at all, but from another series. Am I correct, or have I lost the plot again?

I thought that blue cover was somehow familiar!
The cover of the 2006 with the two girls look like they've just had botox!!

Thanks, Anita - I remember now. I think we have discussed this elsewhere.
