Ferguson,
Ruby: illus. by Caney
Each
decade saw different covers illustrating the paperbacks -
with Jill's hair going from brown plaits to
a yellow bob to the 80s when they wore helmets.
The 2000s are represented by a new printing by Fidra
of Edinburgh with the original text - no name changes here! Black Boy is Black
Boy - and
Caney's drawings on nice white
paper.
In
some cases I have scanned dustjackets from
my own collection to dress up jacketless hardbacks so that they
look nice on your
shelf.
