Sarah Bishop and Hair
I was going to stay away from the topic of hair for a long while. Really, I was. But as I noodled about the story of hermitess Sarah Bishop yesterday, I couldn’t help noticing how the cover artists for Scott O’Dell’s young adult novel about her had depicted her tresses.
The hardcover edition from Houghton Mifflin to the left is from 1980.
I think the cover at right is the first mass-market paperback edition, from the early 1980s.
And below is a detail of the paperback edition on the market since 1988.

If you’ll be reenacting at Battle Road this April, the folks at the Hive can help ensure this doesn’t happen to you.
