Book cover. Against a dark blue background is a variety of images from the story; the Eiffel Tower, some notable buildings, a biplane, an old fashioned lamp post and, in the foreground, four figures sprinting, three beskirted and one in trousers, all led by a small dog. The title is emblazoned on a red ribbon across the illustration.

Book cover. In the centre are the two main characters, standing close together as Frances takes a measurement from Sebastian. She is wearing a neat but simple top, skirt and apron, and he is wearing a royal uniform with a cloak. Behind them, taking up the entire cover, is Lady Crystallia wearing a white gown. Golden ribbons twist over the entire cover, and the title is written in a pretty but formal font.
