a book cover

Book Name: IN THE MIRROR;

By: Robin Lythgoe;

Language: English;

ISBN: 9781465943705

The color remember me wood, grass, fresh air,even fog and mud. It is a very beautiful cover in which texture, typography, illustration and concept unite into one, cohesive whole. I like this cover design, because it looks does not only fantasy but also true.

Robin Lythgoe submitted In the Mirror designed by Robin Lythgoe. “Design by Robin Lythgoe; line-drawing by MarshaLee Champagne; artwork by Robin Lythgoe.”
"With the help of Lythgoe's spot on descriptions - not to mention the beautiful cover art - I could practically feel the mirror under my fingers. I own an old mechanical typewriter that I used to write many a poem on when I was younger. It belonged to my father and the clack and clatter of it when he used to write was a well-loved sound to me. Lythgoe's story brings to mind many memories of my youth and childhood and how the simple things were very special. In the Mirror is well crafted, full of deep emotion, wonder, loss, hope and most of all, magic.      --Kristie Kiessling, Reviewer

This book talk about a disillusioned author haunted by the disappearance of his father inherits a mirror and discovers that his own story can have an alternate ending. The book cover doesn't show anyone, but it make people feel : yes, this is the book's soul .
