Classic Book Covers: The Shining by Stephen King

First in an occasional series. Could more accurately be called “Covers of Classic Books”

This is the New English Library edition I owned as a teenager.

Oliver Clarke liked Seven's review of A Cat Called Hope Returns:

A Cat Called Hope Returns by Oliver Clarke

" Another beautiful story about Marx...
As a cat person I'd love to think my boy loves me that much!
Written to stimulate the imagination and evoke all emotions this story captivates and enchants....it also made me cry. "
