The Goldsmith's Wife by Jean Plaidy

This book has had some interesting covers over the years and they really run the gamut - from pretty and elegant to creepy and cheesy.  It has also been published as The King's Mistress.  I wonder if it will be reissued in the UK (since they have been reissuing many of Plaidy's books).

Oh you have some gems there, especially the 1952 edition.

What a variety of covers for this book! My copy has the same illustration as the Pan Books cover you have here from an unknown year, except mine has a blue background instead of white. Mine is a hardcover from Putnam, 1974.

Welcome to my blog collection of book covers. In the course of looking for books on ebay, I have come across some very interesting book covers. I didn't always end up buying the book, so the covers shown here aren't necessarily ones that I own. Just ones I liked, disliked or thought were funny, cheesy, etc. I'm no expert when it comes to creating stuff like this, so we'll see how well this format works. Suggestions are always appreciated!
