Description

The grail of grails!! I've been looking for the originals to the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant for about 15 years. Finally found one! So happy to add this to my collection. Now I just need to find the others...! I'm offering a finders fee for successful acquisition of any of the covers I'm looking for (see my wanted gallery).

I love this painting. This image is burned into my psyche. I liked the books in my youth.

Ditto! I first read this book around 1981 maybe - and have reread it so many times. The covers were the reasons I started reading them. So stoked to own this!

I loved these books so much. My paltry example of original art related to the stories is the cover to gilden fire by Fabian. Wonder who has the other covers?

Just checked it out - super cool! I remember reading Gilden Fire in Donaldson's short story collection Daughter of Regals and Other Tales. In answer to your question - I have no idea! It was a miracle that I found this! But that is ever the way with the Grailiest of Grails.

Awesome cover, a true grail. Everybody reading SF in the 70's knows this cover.
