Wonderful covers! I love these books, and wish I could find copies with your covers... but as far as I can tell, your covers were never used by the US publishers.
Oh, those are beautiful. I've NEVER seen versions with these covers, and I've searched pretty thoroughly through all the different versions (being something of an obsessive fan of the books). Thanks for posting them!
For those in the US looking for the Lions edition/Lynch covers, you can find them on abebooks.com and some of them on Amazon. Here is the abebooks link to the first volume: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?isbn=0006725619&sts=t
These are the versions I read as an American kid living abroad in the late 80s/early 90s. I still have them and love them! For me, Lynch's covers are the definitive Prydain.
These are the covers I have and I love them! I made the mistake of lending the first two out a few years ago so am really hoping I can replace the first two in the series with this edition. Had forgotten how much I loved these books as a child and they still stand up now!
I have this box set, my sister got it as a Christmas present and I spent the next decade or so trying to pinch it from her. I finally got my own set but not for several decades. Your art work for it is some of my absolute favourite art!
