"This day's experience, set in order, none of it left ragged or lying about, all of it gathered in like treasure and finished with, set aside." –Alice Munro, "What is Remembered"

But whether by Peter Lloyd or not, it’s lovely work, don’t you think? Slightly menacing, too, like a glittering shard of glass grasped by the hand of a child.
From my collection, here’s another paperback with cover art by Frank Frazetta that I doubt many people have seen or remember:
Covers like that one show that even Frazetta, mighty Frazetta, didn’t only hit home runs when he was at bat.
