. I believe "The Little Grey Men" to be copyright 1942 by Denys Watkins-Pitchford (although, curiously, this edition does not actually contain a copyright notice). The cover art is also by Denys Watkins-Pitchford. Fair use rationale for Denys Watkins-Pitchford: this is a low-resolution image; I don't think this will allow anyone to make a good enough print to harm sales of art reproductions or any other commercial use of the cover or the cover painting. The image is of Watkins-Pitchford's best-known book, and also illustrates his art style.
