More mindless destruction of the past successes in evidence here. I used to spend hours looking at the cover pictures of my childhood books, comparing them to the illustrations in the inside pages - always by a different illustrator - letting my imagination play with all the information the images offered, thinking about the faces, examining the backgrounds. I realised this when I opened a box containing my childhood books - every image was deeply familiar. The original Magic Faraway Tree cover illustrated on Dread seems to sparkle; I would be seriously worried about any child who spent any time in reverie over the new cover illustration.
