Annis, that's my Avalon cover, too! Most of mine are from the same series. The Hearth & the Eagle is a purplish tone; Devil Water is green, I think and Katherine, pink.

Alas, Misfit, the scanner isn't hooked up and some of these aren't in good enough shape to do easily anyway. But Coronet had the whole series published in the early 70s in the UK.

Geoff Taylor did a series of rather cool covers for Anya Seton novels at one stage - they are pictured here at his website:

Misfit- i should have given you the date of my Avalon edition -- it was a 1978 reprint of the original 1966 Coronet edition.

Annis, wow those are gorgeous. And thanks for mentioning dates and publishers. If not up at Goodreads I can get the covers up.

My Setons are nearly all Fawcett Crest paperbacks from the '60s and '70s. Goodreads has some but not all. I'll have to check over my collection when I get home.

That's annoying :( It might be worth googling the keywords "geoff taylor seton cover art" to see if you can connect with the link that way. You get funny things sometimes where you can pck up a link using one browser and not another and so on

You guys are awesome, you've found a few I haven't. Must play with that cover browser site and see how it works.
