Amy Sparkes Readers

The Bookshop at the Back Of Beyond; illus - Ben Mantle

An irregular newsletter for readers and fans of Amy Sparkes. Initially a writer of children’s fiction, Amy is now beginning to release books for adult readers as well, principally the “Players” trilogy.

Image of a book called "The Players - Act 1 : All the world's a stage" by Amy Sparkes showing the front cover and spine. The front cover has the author's name at the top, then a wide looped ribbon with the title and subtitle written on it. Along the ribbon at different points are characters from the Commedia Del-arte tradition dressed in purple costumes. Also around the ribbon are various items related to the story or characters - a hammer, skull, pocketwatch, comedy/tragedy masks, fiddle, and peacock feather. At the bottom a key line reads "How far would you go to save what you truly love?" On the spine is the author's name at the top again, and a ribbon runs down with the title and subtitle on, separated by the pocketwatch graphic. At the very base is the Sword and Fiddle logo in blue on a white circle. The background of the spine resembles a loose-bound bundle of papers like a poorly organised script. In the background of the image, a man beats an archaic drum (to drum-up interest), a bright peacock feather shows behind the book and a green curtain hangs behind all. A small amount of smokey texture is starting to obscure things.
