"Anastasias Geheimnis" (Anastasia's secret), illustrations for the story about Anastasia von Signau (by Verena Zuercher, Landverlag)

The "official" cover of the book project "Anastasias Geheimnis. Eine mittelalterliche Raetselgeschichte", by the author Verena Zuercher, published by Landverlag. A short tale about the young Lady from Signau who leads schoolchildren hikers to the historical places of her story. Lots of black and white ink illustrations. On the first cover, Anastasia in front of Burgdorf Castle

In the "variant" cover, or second cover, Anastasia in her castle in Signau (with the books she loved secretly reading) in the company of one of her dogs (obviously I imagined it was a beautiful Bernese shepherd)

One of the color covers among the many black and white ink line drawings...

 One of the line drawings: a medieval gold digger along the river Emme (did you know that already for the Celts and then throughout the Middle Ages the river Emme was very coveted by gold diggers?)
