Maybe if the author’s name had been Maurice Omigosh, or Maurice HolyCriminy, or Maurice Amazeballs, the artist would have colored pencil-sketched some more enthusiastic looking kids.

Amazingly this cover was made into a movie starring Sam Neill and also a TV mini-series.

I’m curious as to how the Bobbsey Twins stumbled upon the throne of Ubbo-Sathla the Unbegotten Source. So points for promotion, I suppose.

Goodness, I got in one try.

Children looking and touching grey slime with vaguely repulsed facial expressions. The girl, holding a flashlight, uses it all wrong. And are those eggs?
In short, there are no mountains anywhere.

@Anna T.—No, no mountains anywhere, but in embiggened view I seem to detect some sort of shadowy stone gate or archway in the background, just to the left of the “U” in the title. What’s up with that?
I also seem to see a left-facing squirrel formed out of foliage blobs just beneath it. So what’s up with that?

Papa John’s Pizza really sucks.

Good to see the “sticky fingers” tag is getting more use.

@Anna, BC: and someone switched my mescaline with vitamin pills, what’s up with that? 😉
As for the mountains, of course they’re not visible. They’re off the cover. The story is set under the mountains.

She got some on her flashlight, now it’s stuck to her face.

Question: What’s worse than biting into a mountain and finding a worm?
Answer: Finding half a worm.

The X-ray view in the lower right shows that the eggs are going to hatch into puffins.
(Actually, I wonder what the cover artist was puffin.)

Why are there shadows under “Under” and “Mountain” but not under “The”? Is this an allegory? I’d ask “What’s up with that” but I don’t want to steal DeadStuff’s signature line. 😛

“Lousy torch! When you’re under a mountain, you can’t get a signal to make outgoing calls.”

I thought this was something self-published recently.
Imagine my surprise upon seeing the date and an actual publisher name.
I was almost as surprised as these kids are excited.
Much less sticky, though.

The puffin looks like its fart is propelling it upwards.
November 28th, 2017 at 7:53 pm
I don’t think puffins can fart. Puffin was the beloved children’s arm of the famed British publisher Penguin. Most of my childhood books are from Puffin or Armada. Then I discovered Fighting Fantasy!

@THX: I don’t know about puffins, but the ring-necked pheasant certainly can. Although as the former is a charadriform and the latter is a galliform, they’re not the most closely related.

DSWBigT—Thanks for the article. Very informative. Poor pheasant fella. But I admire your scholarship and direct you to the following journal. Perhaps you know of it as the state of the art in fowl research?
November 28th, 2017 at 10:36 pm
It is fantasy. Perhaps the puffin has magic levitating farts.
I’m certain that never before in my life, have I said, read, or heard the line “Perhaps the puffin has magic levitating farts.”
Look what madness this terrible cover has driven me to.
Good Show, Unknown Sir!

One way or another, it’s a’puffin.

The two kids just look so… disinterested in whatever they’re doing.

The author is from New Zealand, and the story is set there. As John Oliver has showcased, we put terrible things on pizza.
