It was coincidence that while looking through some Readers Digest Condensed Books (see previous blog) I saw &#8216;Robinson Crusoe&#8217; with artwork by Jack McCarthy which I ignored as he didn&#8217;t do work for PAN as far as I can ascertain. It was a couple of days later that a message popped up on eBay, while I was looking at something completely different, saying I might be interested in some artwork which turned out to be the original for the frontispiece. Needless to say I bought it along with another McCarthy which I presume is the front cover of another &#8216;Best Loved Books&#8217; I&#8217;m guessing the legionnaires could be &#8216;Beau Gest&#8217; but the other parts don&#8217;t go with the only copy of the book I can find as it is a US version and the UK ones had different sets of titles. Does anyone know of a copy as below?<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/RD.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2813 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/RD.jpg\" alt=\"RD\" width=\"358\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/RD.jpg 358w, https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/RD-218x300.jpg 218w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking at a few of the Bantam covers\u00a0of Barbara Cartland novels shows they used the same artwork as PAN for some titles and very similar images for others.
