    • Data from Tuck
    • Tuck says "jacket-Powell"; several internet sites speculate cover art by Mervyn Peake. Fantlab photo of black-and-white version of cover's central image has Peake's signature on lower right corner. "John Wood: Mervyn Peake: A pupil remembers". Wood adds: "it stayed out until Chatto & Windus published the de luxe edition in 1978. But after appearing in Poetry London X (1944), it was reproduced in one of the issues of Designers in Britain. A reckless commercial artist made a shameless plagiarism of it for a dustwrapper of The Hounds of Tindalos by Frank Belknap Long, published by the Museum Press in 1950".
