On the Design

As book design forms an integral part of the reading experience, we would like to acknowledge the work of those who went into creating the form in which the story is housed.

Tessa van der Waals (Netherlands) is responsible for the cover design, cover typography and art direction of all World Editions books. She works in the internationally renowned tradition of Dutch Design. Her bright and powerful visual aesthetic maintains a harmony between image and typography and captures the unique atmosphere of each book. She works closely with internationally celebrated photographers, artists and letter designers. Her work has frequently been awarded prizes for Best Dutch Book Design.

The cover has been edited by lithographer Bert van der Horst of BFC Graphics (Netherlands).
