Such fun to page through it...
The book is printed in a nice brownish ink, which fits the time period well, I think! Here are a few interior spreads...
While working on the endpapers, my editor and designer came up with the brilliant idea of having Maggie and Oliver separate on the front end... (See the girl and the dog close to the gutter?)
... and coming together on the back end, as they do in the story.
And it was a lovely surprise to see that they had taken one of interior spots...
... and embossed it on the hardcover of the book. Sweet detail!
I'll post more in the coming weeks, but for now, time for a great big Happy Dance!

Thanks, Julie! :-)
Julie’s right. “Beautiful” is the perfect word. The story’s summary has me eager to read this book; what I see here makes me want to have a copy of my own so I can look at those wonderful illustrations whenever I want.
Congratulations, Jennifer! Looks wonderful. :)
