The Friday Face-Off is a new meme created by Books by Proxy, where the idea is to compare the UK and US covers of a book with each week being a certain theme, this week’s theme is: “And I Jack, The Pumpkin King!” a cover for Halloween.
For the theme this week I have chosen: The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury.
Cover A:
Cover B:
Cover C:
Cover D:
Cover E:
Cover F:
Cover G:
Cover H:
Cover I:
Cover J:
Cover K:
Cover L:
Cover M:
Cover N:
Cover E, J and K:
With 14 different covers to choose from I found it hard to pick just one winner! Such a range of choices! 🙂 So instead I have chosen the three that really standout to me.
Thoughts?? Agree?? Disagree??

Wow – what a fabulous array of covers you have here:). Congratulations – it’s great book choice for the time of year! I’m going to plump for A – while there are a number of really slick, strong contenders – I think K is another very eye-catching, attractive offering – I love the vibrancy, colour, quirkiness and sheer richness of the design, which I think accurately reflects Bradbury’s wonderful prose. FAR better than the limp offerings I unearthed!

Yes, I thought I remembered you used this book, when I was browsing Halloween covers it was the one that stood out though with some really cool different types of covers but apologies as you had used the same book a few weeks ago.

No – you’re fine:). I really haven’t used any Ray Bradbury covers – when it was witches, I used Diana Wynne Jones’ Witch Week. And even if I did – it isn’t a big deal… I think it’s fascinating to see what we choose for each subject that’s set, as much as the range of covers we present:)). All part of the fun!

OK, cool. Totally agree about it being fascinating seeing what we all choose, especially for some of the themes, definitely for some of the upcoming – hello shoes!😂

Yes – one of mine… It’s surprising how many covers feature shoes!

Ha, well in the time honoured tradition of manliness I’ll say I never paid much attention to shoes and technically every cover that has a person on it has shoes but I actually found a cover with a shoe on.😀 Now, bottles for the last theme of the year – sigh!😢

It’s DRINK, not bottles… And that’s a LOT easier – honest!

Wow, I can’t believe you only chose three. There were some really good and really bad ones in there. I would have to pick cover K I think…

I thought three was a decent amount and they all looked different, lots of different covers to choose from though this week. 🙂

That green cover is pretty badass but I like C for some weird reason and D is kinda scary.

I don’t even think I can pick a cover. I hated all of them. What a weird set of covers. Is this book from the 70’s or 80’s? Those covers look old and are yuck!

According to the good people at Goodreads it was first published in 1972!
Why am I not surprised that you didn’t like at least one of the covers, sigh, I shall have to find a cover with girly pink and glistening abs on! 🙂

Have you read this one? I just recently read Fahrenheit 451 and really enjoyed his writing style. I definitely want to check out his other works.

Unfortunately not no, as the theme for the week was Halloween I merely picked this book as it had Halloween in the title – yeah, real scientific reasoning there on my part!😂
