As a book lover and a designer, Penguin Books is one of those publishers who is at the top of the game. This cover for The Fox and the Star is a prime example of why. Creator Carole Bickford-Smith is a designer at Penguin and this is her first book. According to their website the fable is "inspired by William Blake's Eternity and the graphic work of William Morris." The text and the way the vines swirl around and through it are beautiful and keep my eye moving around the page. Although it is the adorable fox that is the center of the image, the little bugs are probably my favorite detail.
