Ruth Palmer's book covers are great!
I think many here already like them.

There are lots of examples of her work in the cave - here's more of her wider work that you may not have seen before:

I rather liked those illustrations - thanks for pointing them out Pete, I can't say I'd noticed them before.

Ruth Palmer's covers were the only good thing about Bruno Vincent's mind-numbing Famous Five spoofs for adults!

I had to look at this thread cos I'd never heard of her.

Oh - she's modern... (*makes grumpy old man noises*) ;)
