Product details
A book poster inspired by Nerilka's Story, Anne McCaffrey's companion novella set during the deadly plague that sweeps across Pern. This literary art print evokes the selfless courage of Lady Nerilka as she abandons privilege to nurse the sick alongside Journeyman Harper Alessan, finding purpose and unexpected love amid tragedy. A hopeful addition to a reading nook, home library, or dorm, it makes a wonderful gift for sci-fi readers, McCaffrey fans, and students who cherish character-driven stories of resilience and transformation.
This watercolour illustration of Nerilka's Story steps out of the gallery and into the story — soft colour washes behind the title, with crisp lettering emerging through a brushed halo. Romantic, atmospheric, a little dreamy. Book illustration art made for reading nooks, nurseries, and walls that quietly wish they were a library.
✦ Available in three paper finishes: matte, satin, or gloss

Paper sizes are hard to picture. Below, every size we print is hung on the same living room wall, to scale above a 2.2 m sofa, so you can see the real difference between an A4 and an A2 before you order.
Every size, on a real wall
Shown to scale above a 2.2 m sofa, each frame hung 20 cm above the sofa back.

Sizes are the printed paper. A frame adds a border around the print, so a framed piece covers a little more wall than the figures above. Prices for each size are shown on the product page.
Where to hang it
On its own
Hang so the middle of the print sits about 145 cm from the floor. That is eye level for most people and the height galleries use.
Above a sofa or bed
Leave 15 to 25 cm between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the frame, and pick a print roughly two thirds the width of the sofa.
A set of three
Keep 5 to 8 cm between frames and line up their middles. Three A4s or three A3s side by side read as one piece.
A gallery wall
Mix A5 and A4 around one larger A3 or A2. Lay it out on the floor first, then hang from the middle outwards.
