Er, yeah, now I look at it, you're right, Cathy.

I was wondering what it was that bugged me about the portrayal of George in that picture, and now I realise... She does look totally out of the wrong era compared to the rest of them! It's a pity, as it would otherwise be quite a nice cover, but that spoils it for me.
As I said, the one I most like (and would even consider buying if I had a few thousand quid to burn

) is the Emma Chichester Clark one. I'm not sure what era the children are supposed to be from in this (again, George looks a little inconsistent with the others), but I love the colours and the real sense of movement and adventure in the way the children are drawn. My only real objection would be that Timmy looks a bit odd, especially in the head! But otherwise it's a nice picture that (to me, anyway) looks fresh and modern without losing the feeling of this book being a children's classic.
