Another entry in my series of French editions of the Chronicles. Here are books one and two side-by-side, published in the early 1980s. That is clear because the first is no longer titled Le Lion et la Sorcière Blanche but L’armoire Magique — The Magic Wardrobe. If you do a search on this title and …
The witch, in an unusual nostrils-up pose, pointing at an offscreen Edmund as if to say “And what, pray, are you?” as the dwarf pulls back the reins in surprise. A lot of action and attitude packed into one pic. Note the artist’s good use of black, white and red which differs from the usual …

Before being hoisted into the clerestory, they were displayed at ground level so churchgoers could see them up close. Visit the church’s site for more …
I saw someone wearing a tshirt with this design and thought it was hilarious! The “dungie” refers to the Dungeness crab at the lower left, which are renowned as a delicacy in the Pacific Northwest. The artist’s name is Ray Troll. He’s a native Alaskan known for his unique style and scientific accuracy of the …
