The Winged Sword-Bearer and Two Children
A tall dark figure spreads great feathered wings while holding a long sword vertically. Two pale children stand with bowed heads on either side. The balanced ornamental design repeats the book’s imagery of childhood, protection and a threatening supernatural power.
