Binding Notes
Bound in olive green cloth with a triple gilt ruled decoration of a moose with antlers walking through a thick forest while being watched by a rabbit and a wild cat perched on branches overhead. Cover was designed by Amy Sacker and is signed with her monogram in the bottom left corner. Design is stamped in gilt and dark green and is a companion design to "The Kindred of the Wild" by Roberts. The distant gilt sky is seen through the bare tree trunks. The spine is decorated with three flying geese silhouetted against a gilt moon.
