Tawnya | 4103 comments I wound up creating two new editions. That poor image that was already on the site is the original "Young Puffin" edition from 1982. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a better image on a site we are allowed to use. Amazon has the latest cover from 1989. That is who has the ISBNs now. The cover you requested can be found here
