AS ALWAYS, OUR Christmas cover eschews the news in favour of an image inspired by the special features that fill half the issue. This year these pieces cover, among other things, the intricacies of buying shoes online in Indonesia, how climate change is affecting viticulture and the adventures of a young Winston Churchill in Africa.
Another story, on why economists love “Robinson Crusoe”, inspired three possible cover ideas. The first featured the eponymous hero stranded on his island with a bottle of wine and a whale in the distance, visual references to two other pieces in the issue. It was charming, but lacked a sense of seasonality.
