Partial text of the words 'England's Green'. The text is light green serif font on a dark green background. That's imaginative.
A photograph of a cuckoo with a smaller bird feeding it.
headshots of our twelve reviewers, what a happy bunch!
A detail from 'Hato zu' a woodcut by Konen Uchara. It shows a rolling blue ocean with white flecks and a blue sky.
A drawing in green on an off-white background. Looks a bit like a musical instrument, could be a mandolin or maybe a lyre.
A dusk sky, lanterns are strung across the image, its all a bit blurred.
A blue background with some gold solid circles and some gold circle outlines. They look a little like planets.
