Ken Wynn - book covers

 

 

Ken produced covers for the Penguin reprints of novels by CS Forester and John Buchan, for which his model was frequently  an old friend who had served with the Royal Artillery in Burma and later became a bank manager in the Sahara. The exception was The Thirty-Nine Steps, which had a photograph of Robert Powell, who played Richard Hannay in the film and subsequent televison series.
