Isn’t this the most sneery, evil, White Witch ever? She’s clapping her hands after some showy but failed assault on her castle, saying “Well done, children, that was a good effort if a little lame I must say. Now I will turn all of you into stone.” This pic was done for International Womens Day, …
This is it. It’s AWFUL. Why is there a lion’s pawprint on a window? It only has three toes making it zoologically suspect. Or is that supposed to be a minimalistic version of the back of the White Witch’s head facing three of the Pevensie kids?
Talking Animal names in Narnia follow two patterns. The first are descriptive and in English, like Pattertwig or Slinkey. The second are from the natural sounds the animal makes. Lewis never calls it a language, though that is surely what it is. Examples are the names Bree and Hwin for horses (I go into …
Sometimes it’s the simplest White Witch portraits that are the most effective, like this one here, which substitutes glacial green for the ubiquitous blue tones that are usually used for the background. It’s part of a homeschool art lesson. Another simple, yet effective, witch, with a gray or pewter cast. She seems not so evil …

Like this one, above, that’s suitable for a professionally published children’s book. The artist gave her no iris or pupils, which makes for a scary touch. Edmund looks very small and seems to …
There’s been only one animated version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and it was made by Bill Melendez of all people — who owned the same animation studio that made most of the Charlie Brown specials broadcast on American TV during the 1970s. If you were a child then, you probably have …
Here’s some more depictions I found of Narnia’s favorite baddie, Tash! The illustration above, by Trenton Long, adheres both to the book and Pauline Baynes’ iconic illustration. Tall, skinny, with man-snatching Bandersnatch claws, plus that pectoral collar and scraggly loincloth. The head is more pterosaur-like than avian, but his expression says he’s full of evil …
What new things have been planned for Narniaworld for the Summer of 2026? First of all, the Fire Festival! Based on Edinburgh’s world-famous solstice celebration, this event is for one night only, the shortest one of the year in fact. A parade, stilt-walkers, dancers, acrobats, fire jugglers and the like will entertain guests from sunset …
