The brief
A Wilde-inspired friendly-ghost story for older children needed a literary-classical cover that signalled prestige without dating itself — wallpaper border, period palette, author credit above the title in small caps.
The solution
Watercolour figures in restrained sage / dusty rose / ivory, full wallpaper-pattern border around the composition, distressed serif title, period author credit. Reference: a classic mini-edition of *The Canterville Ghost*.
