Back in June we visited Thomas Hardy’s cottage in Higher Bockhampton, a hamlet in the parish of Stinsford (we also\u00a0paid our respects at\u00a0his grave in Stinsford churchyard)\u00a0Unfortunately I couldn’t find any PAN’s lurking on shelves to add to my series of ‘PANs Spotted In Historic Buildings’ but I can add to my collection of photos of ‘Famous Toilets I’ve Sat On’\"HardysCottage\"<\/a>Hardy did not feature in PAN’s early booklists very often as I can only find PAN 268 “The Mayor of Casterbridge” <\/a><\/span>from 1953 and PAN M207 “Far from the Madding Crowd”<\/span><\/a> from 1967. PAN 268 has a cover by the elusive artist R Sax of whom very little appears to be known, can anyone help? As I’ve mentioned before I have a CD of over 500 examples of original PAN cover artwork and\u00a023 of these are confirmed as Sax with several more listed as Sax?\u00a0so I’ve made a page <\/a><\/span>of those which are definitely his.<\/span><\/p>\n

Later, in the days of ISBNs, PAN published “Tales from Wessex” as a TV tie-in in 1973 and “Tess of the D’Urbervilles” in 1979 as a film tie-in.
