George R.R. Martin
has released the cover art for the American edition of
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. This is the omnibus which collects together
The Hedge Knight,
The Sworn Sword and
The Mystery Knight, the three novellas about Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg, set 89 years before the events of
A Game of Thrones.
This is the first time the prose editions of the three stories have been collected together in one volume. This edition will be heavily illustrated by Gary Gianni and will be published on 6 October in the UK and USA. The book is already available - minus the illustrations - in some parts of Europe.
Dunk and Egg! :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice cover indeed. Do you know if there's any art samples available anywhere? I'd love to have an idea how These illustrations look like...
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you might want to add that the collection has so far only been published as such as translations. Your putting "the first time the prose editions of the three stories have been collected together in one volume" next to "book is already available - minus the illustrations - in some parts of Europe already" doesn't make much sense otherwise.
I'm sure Martin fans will know this and being German I'm also aware of the German Counterpart "Das Urteil der Sieben" but the casual reader of your blog may not know.
Oh, and there's two "already"s in this last sentence of your entry. ;-)
