  • The cover of The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains, by Reena McCarty The background is a night sky, dark blue on top, fading down to a bright blue behind a mountain range. There is a little peek of sun or moon behind the mountains, and a stone circle in the foreground at the bottom. The bulk of the cover is a slightly stained scroll that has the title, The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains, written in two different fonts. The scroll is surrounded by and almost holding back a bunch of plants and flowers–pine branches and cones, balsamroots, lupines, and prairie rockets, along with things like chokecherries, huckleberries, and morels. There are also a few other things in the border–a bronze dagger, a salt shaker, a spoon, and a pen, along with a scattering of iron nails.
