I'm not sure why they redesigned it, especially since Lolita looks older than a nymphet would be.
The thing that puzzled me the most is the fact that an abridged version of Lolita exists.  Who deemed this necessary and why? Lolita isn't that long, and I can't figure out what one would want to edit out.
