What is of relevance to PAN Fans is that Shabner also painted 22 covers for PAN but under the name &#8216;SHELDON&#8217; plus 14 for Arrow and 6 for Fontana which all featured in the book.\u00a0 It was a strange coincidence but the first page I looked at had a photo of Betty Shabner in front of a painting that looked familiar. I have one print of Shabner&#8217;s work on a calendar featuring &#8216;Miss Felco 1978&#8217;\u00a0 and this was it. (I hope Stuart and Bernard Crossley won&#8217;t mind me using this photo) Of course me mentioning ths book has nothing to do with a couple of name checks &#8211; thanks Stuart.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/poster.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/poster-1024x755.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11258\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When I was helping Colin Larkin obtaining copies of the titles to go with his original artwork we were intially puzzled by &#8216;The Virgin Of Kwangtung&#8217; as PAN didn&#8217;t publish a Pearl Buck under this tilte.
