The Brief
Design inspiration
Title
The Charwoman’s Shadow
The Brief
Author
Lord Dunsany
Book description
The Charwoman's Shadow is a historical fantasy set in Spain with an almost rom-com feel to it at times (like a self-aware telenovela). It is a celebration of the small things in life, the power of literacy, a reminder that light and dark go together and a nostalgic love letter to wonder and magic.
Target audience
This book is a must read for all fantasy lovers. It feels like a cross-generational story. Dunsany inspired the likes of Tolkien and Lovecraft. The Charwoman's Shadow clearly inspired the Sorcerer's apprentice (Fantasia).

Design needs
This has to work for an audiobook format (square). I would like something simple and striking at first glance but with layers to it upon closer inspection. The title should be very clear (please see the book covers I attached for inspiration).
What to avoid
I would prefer to stay away from any pictures to keep with the simple theme.
It all began with a design brief.
A quick, interactive guide helped them understand their design style and captured exactly what they needed in their book cover.
