You’re not fooling us, Charles Bronson, we know your secret pen name.

The best part is the big, yellow, attention-grabbing arrow pointing to nowhere.

Let’s learn a little bit about our author:

Hey, look—it’s Freedom! She took her saddle, dumped her horse (the legendary Savage Plateau) and took up with a beast. Good thing she kept those tassels and ribbons and all (as well as her signature pose), so we’d be sure to recognize her.

‘After a terrible holocaust 300 years before, only the Land survives. Tayla, crown princess of the realm, senses a secret bond between the sisters and the beasts of burden who serve them. Unlike cows, horses, and swine, these two-legged beasts are treated with extreme cruelty and contempt. They are either worked to death or ritually slaughtered. It is not until Tayla finds the ancient texts that she realizes who and what the beasts are. The ancient ones called them men!’
Never heard it referred to as ‘a secret bond’ before.

This land is your land,
And I’m not touching it…

For some reason, this book is found in the row above the Robot Series by Asimov, if it is found at all in bookstores.

Sounds like someone dozed off during ‘Spock’s Brain’ (and who wouldn’t?) and then woke up with a brilliant new idea for a story.
Although the cover-art suggests they’re ripping off an as-yet-unmade ‘Blakes 7’ with a similar set-up.

@B’mancer: In addition to writing novels and short stories for adults, she began creating stories for children. Frequently using her daughter Carrie as a model for her characters. Even the antics of their family pets found their way into her stories.
Articles of furniture made appearances. Added the lawn and flower beds. Peeped in the neighbours’ windows for more ideas. Never a complete sentence. 🙁

Nothing subtextual about that stone pillar, nosiree Bob. Not a thing.
Maybe the yellow arrow is trying to indicate that the Editor’s Choice is actually whatever title — any title — is on the shelf below this one?

So, as I understand it, this book is one of those “stereotypical Lady Land finds out men aren’t so bad after all” tales. Yeah, that really explains why she’s so . . . happy . . . on the cover.
I don’t really want to know what’s actually supposed to be going on in this picture.

Her face is so dark and it is obviously not shadows.
Is she taking part in some kind of satanic minstrel show?

Does the artist’s mum know what he does for a living?

Her sisters were shocked when their Princess loved a menhir!

She so loved a beast, she had it skinned and turned into a rug with the tail still attached.

@Tag Wizard: surely the menhir deserves a ‘skulls-a-poppin’ tag?

“Why, Ivanka, why??”

Picking up from @6…
The Land is your land
The Land is my land
Something’s on your hand
That ought to be banned
Face swathed in shadow
Enormous dildo
And a bright yellow arrow from a tree!
