Dustwrapper - grey wove paper. Upper cover. The artist used to produce the dustwrapper artwork is not identified, but was perhaps part of the Readers Union production department. There have been suggestions that the artwork was by Tolkien, but this is highly unlikely as there is no mention of this in the correspondence between Readers Union and Allen & Unwin.
