I agree with sun surfer, basically on everything he says. The girl is surely Veruca Salt, can no-one see that? This is what she is like in the book, or are we going to start demanding that someone censor the cover? If the cover was censored then we should censor the entire book, as that is what the cover is based on. This edition is aimed at a more mature audience, so of course it was going to be different. The cover is done in the same style as all other Penguin Modern Classics, same with the typography. The cover is creepy, but that is surely the point. From the comments so far, it seems as though most people on here think everyone should be morally outraged and disgusted with Penguin, but I just find it a creepy picture, not overly sexualised.
