"The rivers stank, the marketplaces stank, the churches stank, it stank beneath the bridges and in the palaces.The peasant stank as did the priest, the apprentice as did his master’s wife, the whole of the aristocracy stank, even the king himself stank, stank like a rank lion, and the queen like an old goat, summer and winter."

I think this cover is kind of perfect. Actually I can´t remember the details of the real one, but I'm sure it hasn't this suggestion of smell in beautiful, old parfum bottles.
FAB!
