The image shows the cover of a book titled The Sword in the Stone by T.H. White. The background is predominantly blue, with slightly worn edges, suggesting it's an older or vintage copy. The title is displayed in large, bold, white letters, with "THE" and "IN THE" in a smaller font than "SWORD" and "STONE." Below the title, there is a simple illustration of a sword embedded in an anvil, with the blade pointing upward. The sword and anvil are black, with a faint, circular tan background behind them for contrast. At the bottom of the cover, the text reads "A Novel by T.H. White" in a smaller, elegant font.
