Cover art that's practically made of ugly

It's heartbreaking, really:


Why does Dover do this? I mean, they've released all kinds of gorgeous stuff--this week, they're putting out a beautiful book of Kay Neilsen's fairy tale illustrations. Doesn't a cover like this one (What's up with that red face, anyway? Has that princess been drinking?) hurt their artistic sensibilities?

It looks like one of those straight-to-video Disney rip-off movies. Thumbelina? That kind of thing.

Heh. You're right. It's very "Ferngully VIII: The Light Princess".
