Favorite Book Cover of the Week: The Children's Book by A.S. Byatt

I found this cover in a list of "favorite book covers of 2009" from the staff at WORD in Brooklyn, NY. Their selections were posted as part of series in the NYTimes Books blog. Check out the blog's related posts with votes from other Indie bookstores. When I clicked through to read more about The Children's Book I became entranced by the description and have officially added it to my reading list for the summer. Has anyone else read this? The summary alone gives me chills!
