Portrait format of a book cover design for a poetry collection by Beryl Gascoigne entitled; THE TALE OF THE THREE MYSTERIOUS TREES. The central image is of a leaf which branches out from a stem to resemble a single tree. The background to this is a soft pastel marbled effect. The branches of the tree-like image are set against a golden square. The lettering above the image is B. Gascoigne Hibbert and below the trunk is the title of the book as above.

From the artist

This is a republishing of my mother's poetry book from 1944. This second publication was by my and my daughter's publishing company, Furst & King 2002 which has an ISBN number. I illustrated many of the poems with small collages and we published this book to commemorate my mother's 80th birthday.
