Jean-Leon Huens' cover for Lloyd Alexander's fantasy novel The Book of Three.
This was the first novel in the 5-part The Chronicles of Prydain, Alexander's adaptation of Welsh mythology and folklore.
The charming gentleman on the horse is The Horned King, the chief henchman and enforcer of the main villain, Arawn.
Despite Disney's misfire with its adaptation of the second book in the series, The Black Cauldron, I think The Chronicles of Prydain would make for a great film or television series.
