Don replies:
I highly doubt the cover art was approved by Wolfe. The cover for
RttW (besides being hideous) is the result of a misreading of the
passage where Silkhorn is picked up by the godling. It describes the
godling's thumb as looking like a head with a curved hat (thumbnail).
So I wouldn't look to the cover art for any insight.
