The cover is wonderful- Rupert is on top of an outcrop rock in a Welsh looking Snowdonia like scene. In his hand he is clutching the straps of a camera in a case. Dinky the Cat is to his left and Algy Pug and a rabbit look on. When you open the book out and look at the back cover together with the front you get the full beauty of the scene and the wonderful composition that was the genius of Alfred Bestall who's signature is written on the foot extreme left. Bill Badger and Edward Trunk are climbing after him and on a further rock sits Tom Pied Piper's son together with Margaret the little girl from Robin Down from the story `Rupert and the Distant Music'.
