Hardwick Hall is in the background with a transparent green overlay. Overlaid text reads: “Derbyshire has created a fascinating insight into Bess’s life, painting a vivid picture of the turbulent and deadly times in which she lived” — @HISTORIC_CHRONICLES. The Spiramus Press logo appears in the top left corner.
