Uncredited 1980 cover art to ‘A Wind in the Door,’ by Madeleine L'Engle

This one’s probably by Richard Bober, since he did a long-uncredited cover to A Wrinkle in Time in a similar style. I actually mentioned this cover to the same radio host who interviewed me about the Bober cover, and she passed the question on to his family - they agreed it looked like his style, but they didn’t have any records that could confirm it was him.
