Greta Gerwig’s Charn

Alas, I thought this Summer of Narnia was over. But then I saw this production still from the Netflix The Magician’s Nephew which features Queen Jadis running through the palace of Charn with Digory and Polly. It’s very different from how I imagined Charn — my view is more titanic and epic, with an ancient …

Jadis Dies Again (The end of the Summer of Narnia)

As it’s the Autumn Equinox, I’m sad to say it’s the end of another Summer of Narnia. So here’s another collection of pics showing another ending, the death of one Jadis, also known as the White Witch and the so-called Queen of Narnia. Dead but not dismembered. So pretty but so evil! A terrifying Aslan …

Let’s Hear It for Jack!

By now I’ve posted hundreds of pictures of Narnia the world, but little of that world’s creator, C. S. Lewis (Jack, as he named himself.)  I’m going to remedy that.

Japanese Audiobooks of the Chronicles, from Kobunsha

Am I finished with the Summer of Narnia 2026 yet? No, far from it. Kobunsha not only published the Chronicles of Narnia in their Classics line, they produced these audiobooks, narrated in Japanese and available from Audible. They all have simple yet attractive covers in bright, pastel shades. I’ve noticed that about Japan and also …

Unusual Japanese Edition of the Chronicles

I came across these very unusual — to say the least — and minimalistic covers of the Chronicles on a deep internet search. I don’t recall having seen them anywhere before in all the years I’ve been doing the Summer of Narnia. It’s sophisticated design, yet simple, in keeping with the Japanese aesthetic. I think …

A Strange Warning

Meanwhile, in Sweden:  

Narnia 1979 (Part 10)

Last in this series of posts, some VHS and DVD covers of the animated special. These have not been consistent at all over the years. This VHS release was the first, released October 13th, 1993 in the U.S. No idea why it took that long. Copyrights maybe. Though not great design, the cardboard slipcover combines …
