Re: "dreggy uniform dress"/weird hardback covers

The Puffin covers are lovely, and I love that the artist has either read the book or got detailed instructions. Not something that happens in all my adult reading! I have the Faber Cricket Term, which has a nice, faithful picture of Nicola and Jan on the roof - and, on the back cover, Miss Cromwell levitating behind one of the ridges. When I see it, I always feel a bit disappointed for her that she never got a chance to catch someone up there.

Speaking of uniforms, the navy is drawn as navy-and-white check, and Jan is in a white shirt and scarlet skirt, which is at least less unflattering than scarlet everything.
