It's January 1st, 1973, and look what has just hit the bookshop shelves:

The rear cover art does a great job, with the scariest looking treesthe in the Armada books to date terror too. Shame the publisher didn't think to credit the artist!
The story's illustrations are pretty scary too, especially for the age group the book was aimed at:
I've not read any of the stories in Book 5 yet, but when I do, the tale with the illustration directly above will definitely the first I tuck into.
