Book cover for "Bel Lamington" by D.E. Stevenson. The design features a vintage-style illustration of a serene loch surrounded by rugged, golden-hued mountains under a soft sunset sky. A small boat rowed by a single person glides across the water. At the top, a stylized architectural drawing of a manor house with multiple chimneys sits above the title. The author's name is at the bottom alongside a quote from Kirkus: "a hallmark of gentleness..." All elements are framed within a deep forest green border.
The beginning of Bel’s story. 🌿 Our new look for Bel Lamington, the perfect companion to Fletchers End.
Joining our D. E. Stevenson collection of new editions on 1 July 2026.
